A longitudinal model of maternal self‐efficacy, depression, and difficult temperament during toddlerhood
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test a model of maternal self‐efficacy during toddlerhood using a longitudinal sequential design. Participants were 126 mothers of 1‐year olds (Cohort 1) and 126 mothers of 2‐year olds (Cohort 2) who completed questionnaires measuring maternal self‐efficacy, depression, and perceived difficult toddler temperament three times over 1 year. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and maximum likelihood estimation. Findings support a model whereby (a) the more depressed the mother feels, the more likely she is to rate her toddler's temperament as difficult, (b) the more difficult the child's temperament is perceived to be, the lower the mother's estimates of her parenting self‐efficacy, (c) the lower the mother's self‐efficacy, the greater her depression, and (d) the more depressed the mother feels at one point in time, the more likely she is to remain depressed 6 months later. Implications of the findings are discussed as they relate to self‐efficacy theory and nursing intervention with parents of difficult toddlers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
