“…These findings resonate with other research focusing on pregnant and parenting young women that has suggested that, even among young women with histories of severe conduct problems, motherhood can be a positive experience that provides new opportunity for positive behavioral change (e.g., K. E. King et al, 2009;Leadbeater & Way, 2001;Rolfe, 2008). This study provides further support to the idea that the transition to motherhood can provide an important window of opportunity for redirecting the life course and establishing resilience (e.g., Borkowski, Bisconti, Willard, Keogh, & Whitman, 2002;Leadbeater & Way, 2001;Rolfe, 2008).…”

“…Similar to typically developing individuals (Borkowski et al, 2001) and individuals with diverse developmental risks (Caspi et al, 2004; López et al, 2004), positive family relationships and interactions were associated with positive outcomes for adults with ASD in this sample. These effects were maintained regardless of whether or not the adult with ASD was living in the family home, further emphasizing the enduring importance of the mother-child relationship.…”

“…In the general literature, maternal positive affect and the quality of parent-child interactions have been predictive of child adaptation and functioning (Borkowski, Ramey, & Bristol-Powers, 2001; Bornstein, 2006; Landry, Smith, & Swank, 2006). The quality of the parent-child relationship is an important factor for adjustment into young adulthood among families with typically developing children (Overbeek, Stattin, Vermulst, Ha, & Engels, 2007).…”

Little is known about outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) into adulthood. Several characteristics of individuals with ASD predict long-term outcomes, and the family environment may also play a role. The present study uses a prospective, longitudinal design to describe and predict trajectories of autism symptoms and maladaptive behaviors over 8.5 years in a large, community-based sample of adolescents and adults with ASD. Overall, autism symptoms and maladaptive behaviors were observed to improve over the study period. Above and beyond the adult’s gender, age, and level of intellectual disability, greater improvements were associated with higher levels of maternal praise (based on maternal speech samples) and higher quality mother-child relationships. Implications for future research and intervention are discussed.

“…When measured during the third trimester of their pregnancies, the mothers in the project had deficits in IQ, high levels of internalizing and externalizing problems, and were not as cognitively prepared for their parenting role as a comparison sample of adult mothers (Borkowski et al, 2002). Furthermore, after the birth of their children, mothers exhibited less appropriate and sensitive interactions with their children than adult mothers as well as elevated child abuse potential (Whitman et al, 2001).…”

Reliability and Validity of the Mother-Child Neglect Scale

The current study offers a new way to ascertain information about child neglect by evaluating a self-report measure of neglectful behaviors, the Mother-Child Neglect Scale (MCNS). The scale was modified from an existing self-report measure, the Neglect Scale (NS), which was originally designed to measure personal histories of neglect. One hundred adolescent mothers were administered the MCNS and NS in two occasions via phone interviews. In addition, maternal abuse potential and the quality of mother-child interactions were assessed when children were age 3 and 5 years. The MCNS had high internal consistency and moderate test-retest reliability. Convergent validity was found between the MCNS and maternal histories of neglect as well as observed parenting behaviors and child abuse potential; those relationships remained after social desirability was controlled. This research tool may prove useful, in conjunction with existing assessment instruments, in determining the type and severity of past neglectful behaviors.
