Some developmental antecedents of psychopathology

About this book

This study consists of data collected from the children whose mothers participated in the 1951-1952 Sears, Maccoby, and Levin P̲atterns of Child Rearing ̲study. This follow-up focused on the child-rearing antecedents of psychopathology in later life. Of the 379 individuals who were five to six years old when their mothers were interviewed in 1951-1952 by Sears and his colleagues, 63 (36 females and 27 males) participated in the follow-up. All participants completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The Murray Center has acquired the computer-accessible data from this study. In addition to the original study (Sears, Maccoby & Levin, A235) other follow-ups of this sample (Nowliss, A570; Crowne, Conn, Marlowe, & Edwards, A572; McClelland, A046; and McClelland & Franz, A1012) are available at the center.
