The Role of Maternal Control in the Development of Sex Differences in Child Self-Evaluative Factors.
Pomerantz, Eva M.; Ruble, Diane N.
Child Development, v69 n2 p458-78 Apr 1998
Examined relationship of maternal control and sex differences in children taking responsibility for failure and possessing strong standards. Found that, in using control, mothers were more likely to grant autonomy to boys than to girls. This socialization pattern partially mediated girls' tendency to take greater responsibility for failure than did boys and was associated with the strength of children's standards. (Author/KB)
