To assess contemporary maternal attitudes about children, child rearing, and family life, a 32-item attitude scale--the Parent Attitude Scale (PAS)--was developed and given to 523 postpartum mothers. The PAS was shown to be a highly reliable attitude assessment instrument. Maternal attitudes generally were pro-child in nature. Variations in total and individual item PAS scores were a function of maternal race, age, marital status, and employment status. Implications of the attitude survey for clinicians in terms of the treatment and prevention of developmental problems and for physician-parent interactions, are discussed.
为了评估当代母亲对孩子、养育孩子和家庭生活的态度，开发了一个包含32个条目的态度量表——父母态度量表（PAS），并将其分发给523名产后母亲。结果表明，PAS是一种高度可靠的态度评估工具。母亲的态度总体上倾向于孩子。PAS总分及各个项目得分的差异是母亲种族、年龄、婚姻状况和就业状况的函数。文中讨论了该态度调查对临床医生在发育问题治疗和预防方面以及对医患互动的意义。
