New York Longitudinal Study
Definition
- In the mid-1950s, theoretical views of child development minimized the differences between children, tending to lump them together as “the 1-year-old” or “the terrible 2s,” and tended to hold parents, especially mothers, responsible when children developed emotional problems. For instance, schizophrenic children were thought to have been brought up by “schizophrenogenic mothers.” In the ideological desire to stress environmental, rather than biological, factors in the development of pathology, the child's own characteristics were often minimized.
