Maternal Self-Efficacy: Illusory Control and Its Effect on Susceptibility to Learned Helplessness.
Donovan, Wilberta L.; And Others
Child Development, v61 n5 p1638-47 Oct 1990

The early attributional and behavioral style characteristic of high illusory control may be a precursor to overcontrolling, interfering behaviors during the toddler years. (RH)
