Fish, Margaret; Stifter, Cynthia A.
Journal of Rural Community Psychology, vE2 n1 1999
A longitudinal study of 94 low-socioeconomic-status rural Appalachian and 67 middle-class Pennsylvania mothers with infants found that, contrary to expectations, low-SES rural mothers were comparable to middle-class mothers on maternal self-efficacy, significantly higher on responsive attitude to infant crying, and comparable or better on mother-infant interaction during the first year.
