Mothers' Test of Anxiety and Task Selection and Children's Performance with Mother or a Stranger
Blechman, Elaine A.; Nakamura, Charles Y.
Child Development, 42, 4, 1109-18, Oct 71
When high anxious mothers administered tasks to their children, they facilitated the task performance of their daughters but were strongly detrimental to that of their sons. Low anxious mothers chose more difficult tasks for sons than for daughters, and they facilitated the task performance of sons more than that of daughters. (Authors/RY)
