Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Maternal Health
  • Child Development

Background:

  • Motherhood involves diverse parenting approaches.
  • Raphael-Leff's model identifies Facilitator and Regulator orientations.
  • Understanding these styles is crucial for maternal and infant well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of Facilitator and Regulator parenting styles in Israeli mothers.
  • To classify maternal orientations using the FR questionnaire.
  • To explore the distribution of different maternal adaptation styles.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the FR questionnaire for assessment.
  • Sample comprised 97 Israeli mothers with six-month-old infants.
  • Categorized mothers into Facilitator, Regulator, Intermediate, and Bipolar groups.

Main Results:

  • 34% of mothers were classified as Facilitators.
  • 34% of mothers were classified as Regulators.
  • 15% were Intermediates and 17% were Bipolars.

Conclusions:

  • Maternal adaptation styles show varied distribution.
  • Further research is needed on the 'Bipolar' group.
  • Cross-cultural studies are recommended to understand prevalence in other societies.
