The Effect of Age in the Transition to Parenthood: Are Delayed Childbearers a Unique Group?
Roosa, Mark W.
Family Relations, v37 n3 p322-27 Jul 1988
Interviewed delayed (N=32) and younger (N=32) childbearers and their spouses during the last trimester of pregnancy and at 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum. Found groups to differ in demographic characteristics, but found no differences between delayed and younger childbearers, either initially or developmentally, in marital adjustment, self-esteem, masculinity, or femininity.
