As part of
a longitudinal study on the environmental origins of mastery motivation,
6- and 12-month-old infants were observed at home with each parent
separately and their motivational characteristics were assessed
in a laboratory setting. Differential relationships between two
aspects of parental stimulation and the infants' mastery motivation
were found. (Author/RH)
