Maternal Support Networks, Maternal Cognitions, and Young Children's Social and Cognitive Development.
Melson, Gail F.; And Others
Child Development, v64 n5 p1401-17 Oct 1993
For a sample of 69 mothers and their preschool-age children, mothers completed measures that assessed their social networks and perceived parenting difficulty, and children's peer acceptance and cognitive performance were assessed. Maternal network characteristics directly predicted children's cognitive performance and indirectly predicted children's peer acceptance through effects on maternal perceptions and attributions.
