Abstract
20 mother-child pairs divided between a child psychiatry clinic population and a non-disturbed control group with all children in the age range from 4 to 6 yr. showed 3 significant results when the frequency of mother's high status (dominant) behaviors was correlated with the frequency of the child's high and low status (submissive) behaviors. In the control sample the boys' high-status behaviors and the girls' low-status behaviors were correlated with the mothers' high status. In the clinic group the boys showed low-status behaviors. Some hypotheses are offered in regard to the findings.Keywords
