The self-esteem of 93 unmarried females between the ages of fourteen and nineteen was measured upon entry into several state-sponsored training programs. Some significant differences were discovered concerning the impact of early motherhood on these individuals. The symbolic importance of motherhood, as a passage into adult status, and the intervening effects of normative group anchorage may mediate between individuals' cognitive ability and their level of self-esteem.
对93名年龄在14岁至19岁之间的未婚女性进入几个国家资助的培训项目时的自尊水平进行了测量。发现了一些关于早育对这些个体影响的显著差异。作为进入成年状态的一种途径，母亲身份的象征意义以及规范群体归属的干预作用可能在个体的认知能力和自尊水平之间起调节作用。
