My research found that adolescents with secure attachments engage in less problem behaviors.

I did research on parenting techniques.
I believe parents should develop rules and be affectionate with their children.
I developed four types of parenting.
My four types of parenting are authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and indulgent.
Each of my four types of parenting coincides with different adolescent social behavior.
John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth
We study attachment between infants and their mothers.
Ainsworth developed the Stranger Situation to test infants' attachment styles.
Bowlby study the attachment behaviors of monkeys.
We conceptualized four types of attachment.
We believe early childhood attachment affects later development.

I am an expert on the effects of divorce on children and adolescents.
My research suggests that most children of divorced parents cope successfully with their parents divorce.
My research indicates that some children experience school, behavior, and relationships problems after their parents' divorce.
I believe that divorce is especially hard on boys.

I believe that maternal employment is a response to social changes and simply part of modern life.
I think maternal employment can meet the needs of parents and socialize children for their adult roles.
I say dual earner families are less likely to have rigid gender roles that are no longer typical of expectations for adolescents and the adults they will become.
I believe working mothers are better able to differentiate from their children, which is necessary for healthy development.
