Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if the mothers' feelings of self-esteem influence her attitudes toward child behavior.
Two groups were studied: One group of mothers who were receiving psychotherapy, and one group who were not.
Data for this study were collected by individually interviewing twenty-five mothers who were receiving psychotherapy and twenty-five mothers who were not. The mothers were presented a standardized questionnaire with thirty-five items. The mothers' responses were evaluated and the two groups were compared.
The findings of this study indicate that the mothers' feelings of self-esteem do influence her attitudes toward child behavior and that there is a difference in attitudes between mothers receiving psychotherapy and those who are not.
