Abstract

Maternal and environmental characteristics as predictors of behavioral problems and cognitive competence in 505 Israeli kindergarten children were investigated. Events in closer temporal proximity to assessments of functioning appeared more predictive than those in early infancy. Findings support the need to include variables reflecting maternal characteristics in any prediction of child outcome and to consider the sex of the child in selection of variables. 1992 American Orthopsychiatric Association
