Menarche and Interest in Infants: Biological and Social Influences.
Goldberg, Susan; And Others
Child Development, v53 n6 p1544-50 Dec 1982
Reports two studies in which 12- to 13-year-old girls, half of whom were premenarcheal and half postmenarcheal, responded to pictures of infants. Concurrent assessments of interest in motherhood, cognitive sophistication about the relationship between menarche and childbearing, attitudes toward menarche, and sex-role self-image did not differentiate between the two groups.
