Consistency and Change in Mothers' Behavior toward Young Siblings.

Dunn, Judith F.; And Others

Child Development, v57 n2 p348-56 Apr 1986

Considers three questions: Do mothers of siblings show consistency in behavior to their children when observed with each child at 24 months? What stability is there in behavior of mothers toward their children from 12 to 24 months? Are sibling status or genetic factors related to differences between mothers in relative consistency or inconsistency shown toward their two children? (HOD)
