The Mother's Response to Separation as a Function of Her Infant's Sex and Vocal Distress
Corter, Carl; Bow, Jane
Child Development, 47, 3, 872-876, Sep 76
The vocal distress of 10-month-old male and female infants was manipulated by placing the infants alone either with or without toys. The results demonstrate that separation distress is not an automatic response of infants and that maternal responses to separation depend on the infant's sex. (Author/JMB)
