Dickstein, Susan; Parke, Ross D.
Child Development, v59 n2 p506-11 Apr 1988
This study assessed the extent to which infants use fathers as referencing targets and the familial context that might mediate referencing to both parents. Infants used fathers and mothers as referencing targets to an equal extent. Marital satisfaction was found to be a significant modifier of referencing. (PCB)
