First-time young mothers living in rural communities use corporal punishment with their toddlers
Forty first-time, young mothers with toddlers, living in rural counties in a southwestern state, participated in this descriptive study investigating their use of corporal punishment. Results showed mothers used corporal punishment in attempts to reduce age-appropriate behaviors, especially at mealtime and in learning situations. Prevention and early intervention programs are needed to not only teach expected child behaviors, but also to model an…

Adolescent and nonadolescent mothers were visited weekly by trained and supervised child development paraprofessionals. The mothers were taught parenting skills, child development, and were linked to community services. Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine group by time effects. After 6 months of intervention, the mothers significantly improved their knowledge of (1) infant development; (2) empathic r…

Chickasaw Native American adolescent mothers
Twenty-four adolescent mothers completed a cultural identity questionnaire and met with an observer in their home to complete the HOME Scale. Analyses utilizing Pearson product moment correlation coefficients found a significant relationship between high identity with the Native American culture and lower scores on verbal responsivity and on provision of material goods. These findings were expected given the Chickasaw values of quietness, reserva…
Language patterns of adolescent and older mothers and their one-year-old children
Adolescent mothers (15;4 years) were compared with older mothers (23;7 years) when talking to their one-year-old infants using precise coding of written transcripts. The 32 subjects were similar on demographic characteristics other than age: white, primiparous, and had no more than 12 years of education. Multivariate and univariate analysis of variance indicated that, compared with older mothers, the adolescent mothers spoke significantly fewer w…
Relating the adolescent mother—child relationship to preschool outcomes
Two domains of potential risk in relation to the cognitive-linguistic outcomes of preschool children of adolescent mothers were investigated: (1) interactive features of the mother—child relationship and (2) aspects of the demographic context of parenting. Sixty-nine adolescent mothers and their children participated in evaluations when the children were 13, 20, 30, and 44 months old. Results indicated that the cognitive-linguistic development of…
Children of adolescent mothers
Underlying the responses of 34 44-month-old children of adolescent mothers to five attachment narratives were two factors--departure and reunion. The departure factor included disorganized and insecure responses to parents' departure as well as disorganized responses to narratives about children's misbehavior and fear. Scores predicted children's externalizing behavior problems 10 months later and discriminated children in the clinical from those…

Self-esteem and depression in abusive, neglecting, and nonmaltreating mothers
Groups of 18 physically abusive mothers, 19 neglecting mothers, and their matched controls were compared on depression and self-esteem. The controls were matched on maternal age, ethnic background, and years of education. The physically abusive mothers had significantly higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem than did the matched controls. The neglecting mothers had higher levels of depression, but not lower self-esteem than did the mat…
