Patterns of Parenting Behavior in Young Mothers.

Whiteside-Mansell, Leanne; And Others

Family Relations, v45 n3 p273-81 Jul 1996

Assessed the parenting behaviors of 193 white and African American mothers 15-24 years of age when their children were 12 and 36 months old. Cluster analysis of three dimensions of parenting was used to identify five types of parenting patterns. The strongest discriminating factor--maternal IQ--was associated with more positive parenting behavior patterns. (52 references) (RJM)
