Sequelae of Cesarean and Vaginal Deliveries: Psychosocial Outcomes for Mothers and Infants.
Durik, Amanda M.; Hyde, Janet Shibley; Clark, Roseanne
Developmental Psychology, v36 n2 p251-60 Mar 2000
Compared psychosocial outcomes for mothers and their infants who had been delivered vaginally or by planned or unplanned cesarean deliveries. Found that women low in neuroticism who delivered by unplanned cesarean showed less positive affect toward infants at 4 months than did women in other groups. Found some evidence that maternal appraisal of the delivery mediated these effects. (Author/KB)
