Effects of Stress and Social Support on Mothers and Premature and Full-Term Infants.

Crnic, Keith A.; And Others

Child Development, v54 n1 p209-17 Feb 1983

A total of 52 pairs of mothers and premature infants and 53 pairs of mothers and full-term infants participated in structured home interviews at one month and observations of behavioral interactions at four months. Although no group differences were found, both stress and support significantly predicted maternal attitudes at one month and interactive behavior at four months. (Author/RH)
