To identify aspects of maternal-adolescent relationships that are associated with high ambivalence toward pregnancy.
This was a cross-sectional study of 350 inner-city, African-American females between the ages of 14 and 17 years residing in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Adolescent females and their resident female caretaker (usually the biological mother) were both interviewed. Multiple regression analyses were used to predict adolescents' pregnancy attitudes from maternal-adolescent discussions about pregnancy, perceived maternal disapproval of pregnancy, and relationship satisfaction.
Greater levels of discussion about negative consequences of pregnancy, stronger levels of perceived maternal disapproval, and higher levels of satisfaction all were associated with more negative attitudes towards pregnancy on the part of the adolescent.
Maternal communication about the negative consequences of experiencing a pregnancy and the quality of the mother-daughter relationship more generally may impact on adolescent attitudes toward pregnancy.
确定与对怀孕高度矛盾心理相关的母婴关系方面。
这是一项对居住在费城大都市区的350名年龄在14至17岁之间的市中心非裔美国女性进行的横断面研究。对青春期女性及其常住女性照料者（通常是生母）都进行了访谈。采用多元回归分析，根据母婴关于怀孕的讨论、感知到的母亲对怀孕的不赞成以及关系满意度来预测青少年的怀孕态度。
更多关于怀孕负面后果的讨论、更强的母亲不赞成感以及更高的满意度都与青少年对怀孕更消极的态度相关。
母亲关于怀孕负面后果的沟通以及更普遍的母女关系质量可能会影响青少年对怀孕的态度。
