American Conceptions of Infant Development from 1955 to 1984: What the Experts Are Telling Parents.
Young, Kathryn T.
Child Development, v61 n1 p17-28 Feb 1990
Content analysis was used to assess the extent to which psychological theories and research about infants were communicated to parents from 1955 to 1984 in two popular publications, the "Infant Care Manual" and "Parents" magazine. Findings indicated that there was no singular relation between what experts knew and what was communicated to parents. (RH)
