Exclusive early mothering and its alternatives The Outcome to Adolescence

Abstract

This investigation focuses on the later de-As part of the longitudinal study in normal child development at the Centre for the Study of Human Development, London (Moore, Hindley & Falkner, 1954; Moore, 1959) note was taken of the care-taking regime experienced by each child at every stage of his life. The histories of daily care up to age 5 (when British children must enter school) were later sorted into various groups, and associations were found with personality independently assessed at later stages of childhood. In the first part of the study, groups were selected taking account of age, type and stability of substitute care, and compared with groups from exclusive maternal care which were as similar as possible with respect to distribution of sex, birth order, Scand.

Consequences of Maternal Employment for Adolescent Behaviour and Attitudes

“…The finding that there was no association of maternal employment with any kind of problem behaviour among adolescent offspring is in agreement with the evidence presented by Moore (1975) on the effects of maternal employment on Swedish children and with the conclusions of Hoffman's (1979) review of American studies. In the few studies where any significant outcomes were noted, these were not simple main effects but interactions between the maternal employment factor and other factors such as attitude of the father to the mother's work or participation of the father in household chores (Baruch & Bamett, 1986).…”

Effects of Day-Care on Cognitive and Socioemotional Competence of Thirteen-Year-Old Swedish Schoolchildren

“…Since this procedure is not standardized for children above 2 years of age, most of the relevant studies on day-care that have been conducted are with very young children. At present, only very few studies are available where children have been followed after starting school (e.g., Hartmann, 1989;Ispa, Gray.,, & Thornburg, 1987;Moore, 1975). Clarke-Stewart (1989), in fact, concludes that we know little about both the short-and long-term effects of early day-care.…”

Les enfants de maternelle provenant des services de garde : perceptions des éducatrices à leur égard

“…Les études de Moore (1964Moore ( , 1975 abordent aussi le comportement social de l'enfant de service de garde. Ce chercheur observe que les enfants élevés en dehors du foyer avant l'âge de cinq ans manifestent plus d'affirmation de soi et moins de conformisme; ils sont moins impressionnés par les punitions, plus prêts à se salir que ceux élevés à la maison.…”

“…D'ailleurs, les habilités sociales de l'enfant de garderie avec ses pairs, mises en évidence par les résultats, suggèrent qu'il a tiré de son expérience antérieure des éléments importants de compétence sociale. Ces résultats sont conformes à ceux obtenus dans plusieurs autres recherches et où il est démontré que l'enfant de garderie est plus susceptible qu'un autre d'approcher un enfant qu'il connaît peu (Kagan, Kearsley et Zelazo, 1978;Riciuti, 1974; Jacobs, à paraître; Baillargeon et al, à paraître); de manifester plus de coopération et d'empathie (ClarkeStewart, 1979); de s'engager davantage dans des interactions positives ainsi que de manifester plus d'agression prosociale (Gunnarson, 1978;Vliestra, 1981); et finalement d'être plus sociable ainsi que plus régulièrement choisi par ses pairs pour cette même raison (Moore, 1975; Jacobs, à paraître).…”
