Trevathan, Wenda R. – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1988
Analysis of the verbal content of 48 Hispanic and Anglo mothers revealed that questions about a newborn infant's gender were more frequent than comments about family resemblance.

Clarke-Stewart, K. Alison – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 1988
Reviews Jay Belsky's "The 'Effects' of Infant Day Care Reconsidered," and offers a different conclusion: that the mother's attitudes toward the infant and toward her employment status may mediate day care effects on attachment and aggression. (SKC)

Belsky, Jay; Rovine, Michael J. – Child Development, 1988
Combines and examines evidence from two longitudinal studies of infant and family development to determine whether experience of extensive nonmaternal care in the first year is associated with heightened risk of insecure infant-mother attachment and, in the case of sons, infant-father attachment.

Males report larger groups of intimate friends, who are overwhelmingly…

Maroldo, Georgette K. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Shyness and love scales were administered to 153 men and 217 women at Texas Lutheran College. Love, dating, and friendship groups were identified on the love scale with respect, congeniality, altruism, physical attraction, and attachment subscales. For the love and friendship groups, shyness appears to be a barrier. (Author/CM)

Matched groups of day-care and home-reared infants were assessed at 3.5 years old for aspects of emotional and language development. The data suggest that attendance in infant day care did not adversely affect the children's overall emotional or language development (Author/DB)
