Antecedents and Consequences of Mothers' Autonomy Support: An Experimental Investigation.
Grolnick, Wendy S.; Gurland, Suzanne T.; DeCourcey, Wendy; Jacob, Karen
Developmental Psychology, v38 n1 p143-55 Jan 2002
Examined effects of contextual and individual differences on mothers' autonomy support versus control on homework-like tasks with their third-grade children. Found that mothers in the high-pressure condition were more controlling on the poem task. For the map task, mothers with initial controlling styles in the high-pressure condition were more controlling. (Author/KB)
