Generational Boundary Dissolution between Mothers and Their Preschool Children: A Relationship Systems Approach.
Sroufe, L. Alan; And Others
Child Development, v56 n2 p317-25 Apr 1985
A concept of seductive mother-toddler relationships was initially validated. Subsequent research showed "seductiveness" was stable, though transformed, from 24 to 42 months; the same mothers were not found to be seductive with male or female siblings; mothers seductive with boys were derisively hostile toward daughters.
