The Short- and Long-Term Implications for Parent-Child Relations of Parents' Prenatal Preferences for Their Child's Gender.
Stattin, Hakan; Klackenberg-Larsson, Ingrid
Developmental Psychology, v27 n1 p141-47 Jan 1991
Investigated conflict in parent-child relations from birth to age 25. Found less conflict in families with a child whose sex was consistent with parents' prenatal expectations, especially for father-daughter relations. Found that mothers' perceptions of children's problems and parents' play time with children were correlated to prenatal preference. (BC)
