This study examines the attitudinal differences and commonalities of working and nonworking mothers of 3-month-old infants. Fifty-nine working and 71 nonworking mothers participated in the study. Interviews and an attitude scale were used to obtain information about mothers' perceptions of infant needs, their beliefs about their own career-related needs, and their satisfaction with mothering. Significant group differences were determined on separation-related issues: Working mothers perceived less infant distress at separation, were less anxious about separation, and were less apprehensive about other care givers. Career orientation and maternal satisfaction were related to beliefs about infant needs in both working and nonworking groups
