The present study was designed to investigate the differences in child-rearing and socialization practices in controlling dimension employed by working and non-working mothers in Karachi. The sample of study consisted of 60 mothers with age ranging from 28-45 years with a minimum qualification of graduation. Maternal control was measured by Control Scale developed by Rohner,(2000). In addition to this scale a qualitative mode of inquiry was used and an indigenous interview was conducted to explore more emic aspect of analysis.. T-test was used to compute the mean difference and results showed significant differences on control scale i.e. non-working mothers attempt to exert more control as compared to working mothers (t=2.61,df=58, p<.01). Quantitative and qualitative mode of analysis revealed that non-working impose more parental control and use directives to discipline behavior of their children as compared to working mothers.
