Consistency of Mothers' Behavior Toward Infant Siblings.
Dunn, Judith F.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v21 n6 p1188-95 Nov 1985
Videotapes of 50 mothers interacting with each of two siblings when each child was 12 months old showed that mothers behaved very similarly towards the siblings. Results suggest that differential maternal treatment of children at the same age in infancy is unlikely to be a major source of observed marked individual differences in siblings. (Author/NH)
