Abstract: This study looks at the relationships between family structure (organization and control), family process (cohesion, expressiveness, and conflict) with maternal sense of competency for mothers (n = 138) engaged in a home visiting program. Research questions were answered using multivariate analysis of canonical correlational analysis (CCA) to determine associations between the study variables. Results showed significant relationship between family structure variables of control and organization and maternal self-report of their general efficacy and their task specific efficacy for teaching and nurturing. Results further showed an inverse relationship between process variable of conflict and overall parenting efficacy of mothers. Study provided directions on how family professionals and home visitors can empower mothers to become efficient, thereby fulfilling Family and Consumer Science's (FCS) goal of equipping professionals to develop essential knowledge and skills to build stronger families.
