Factors Promoting Secure Attachment Relationships between Employed Mothers and Their Sons.
Benn, Rita K.
Child Development, v57 n5 p1224-31 Oct 1986
Investigates factors associated with outcomes in attachment relationships between 30 well-educated, full-time working mothers and their 18-month-old firstborn sons. Suggests maternal employment effects on mother-son attachment are mediated primarily by a woman's affective state, which becomes manifested in her style of caregiving and child-care decisions. (HOD)
