Personality Change During the Transition to Parenthood: The Role of Perceived Infant Temperament.
Sirignano, Sylvia Wolfson; Lachman, Margie E.
Developmental Psychology, v21 n3 p558-67 May 1985
Examined effects of parents' perceptions of infant temperament on personality change during transition to parenthood. Using self-rating scales, both global/trait and situation-specific/state measures were obtained from new parent and childless couples for efficacy expectations, personal control, anxiety, and depression. Differential results were found for all four temperament dimensions. (Author/DST)
