EMPIRICAL REPORTS

Robert Flynn Corwyn and Robert H. Bradley

Family interferes with work at 15 months and 36 months, work interferes with family at 15 months, and gains from work and family at 36 months are gender equivalent, whereas work interferes with family at 36 months and gains from work at 15 months are only partially gender equivalent.

    Prenatal Alcohol Exposure, Child Externalizing Behavior, and Maternal Stress
    Blair Paley, Mary J. O'Connor, Nina Kogan, and Richard Findlay

Current maternal alcohol use is not associated with child behavior problems, but prenatal alcohol exposure is associated with higher rates of child externalizing behavior, which in turn is associated with higher levels of maternal stress; fewer family resources are also associated with increased maternal stress.

Melanie Killen, Yoonjung Park, Jennie Lee-Kim, and Yunhee Shin

Korean parents and nonparental adults living in the United States differ in "parental" decisions about boys' and girls' participation in gender stereotypic and non-stereotypic peer activities in that parents use multiple forms of social reasoning when evaluating children's autonomy in the context of gender expectations and are more likely to support gender biases than nonparental adults.

Julie J. Lounds, John G. Borkowski, Thomas L. Whitman, Scott E. Maxwell, and Keri Weed

The timing of parenting behaviors and beliefs is important when examining their impact on children's attachment status at ages 1 and 5.
