Social Support, Infant Temperament, and Parenting Self-Efficacy: A Mediational Model of Postpartum Depression
Cutrona, Carolyn E.; Troutman, Beth R.
Child Development, v57 n6 p1507-18 Dec 1986
Infant temperamental difficulty was strongly related to mothers' level of postpartum depression, both directly and through the mediation of parenting self-efficacy. Social support appeared to function protectively against depression, primarily through self-efficacy. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed. (Author/RH)
