Examine the social bonds between infants whose mothers work outside the home and infants whose mothers stay at home. What does the research indicate in comparing attachment, amount of time spent interacting,
and the quality of the respective home environments?
What will be an ideal response?
Secure attachment results in both scenarios. Working mothers spend almost as
much time playing with their infants as at-home mothers because the infant-parent
relationship is often a high priority of working mothers. The quality of the home
environments for working mothers slightly exceeds that of at-home mothers since
working mothers tend to spend less time on housework and almost no time on
leisure activities.
