Abstract:
This study is an investigation of the child rearing strategies endorsed by pregnant adolescent girls. The sample consists of 124 adolescent girls drawn from suburban and center-city schools in the Detroit Metropolitan Area. Child rearing strategies were assessed using the Rickel Modified Form of the Block Child Rearing Practices Report. The study provides descriptive analyses of child rearing strategies, compares the responses of center-city and suburban adolescents, and examines the relationship of these scores to indices of stress, social support, and personality as measured by the MMPI. The implications of the findings for community-based interventions are also discussed.
