Abstract
APPEL, YETTA H. Developmental Differences in Children's Perception of Maternal Socialization Behavior. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1977, 48, 1689-1693. This study explored developmental differences in children's perception of maternal socialization behavior based on Piaget's developmental psychology. It was hypothesized that children at the preoperational stage of development would prefer an essentially permissive mother rather than one who attempts to socialize, when compared with concrete operational children. 60 kindergarten children and 70 third graders, matched on ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and intactness of mother-child relationship, equally divided as to sex, were interviewed with a story inventory. Statistically significant developmental differences were found (but no sex differences) in that the younger children evaluated the permissive mother positively, while the older children were consistently negative.
