An Attributional Analysis of Maternal Beliefs about the Importance of Child-Rearing Practices.
Himelstein, Susan; And Others
Child Development, v62 n2 p301-10 Apr 1991
Mothers attributed their children's outcomes to either child-rearing practices, genetics, or environment. It was predicted that mothers of only children and gifted children would attribute more importance to child rearing than would mothers of multiple children and special education children. Predictions were supported across academic, social, and personality domains. (BC)
