Abstract

We compared high and low SES mother-child dyads, and showed that the former children self-reported poorer adjustment on indices of internalizing symptoms and that rates of children’s psychiatric diagnoses were comparable across SES. Affluent mothers reported higher aggression/hostility and rejection in parenting practices.
