'Maternal attitudes 2 Maternal Attitudes and Child Development 1U High-risk families Si Lawrence S. Newman and Craig T. Ramey os The infldences of a mother's attitudes on the self-concept, intelligence, and Nthool achievtment of.her young child are of parUcular 1.4nterest to the sttydy, of psychosocial retardation. Research concerning such influences has considered three issues. First, does the self-concept of the child who is at high risk for psychosocial retardation differ from the self-concept of the low-risk child? Second, how do the mother's attitudes toward herself, her child, and her role as a mothet affeet the child's self-concept? Third, do these maternal attitudes affect the intelligence and school achievement of low- and of high-risk children? This research is addressed to these questions,' and reports the resultitef a study carried out to begin angwering them.- The Self-Concept of High-Risk and ofLow-Risk Children A major oficern in the study of psychosocial retardation hasbeen the comparisoh of the self-conceptof the child who isat high risk for retardation 'with the self-concept of thelow-risk child. Against the backdrop of , established differences in IQ performance, 4 this inqUiry emanates in'part from an "ignorance in bliss".orientation. Despite the fact that the high- tisk child as a lower IQ, does he havea positive 'self-concept? Or, is he happy? UZortunately, studies coffiparing theself-=concept across scicio-economic ) groupings have yielded 19 ( no conclusive findings.

This confusion emphasizes the need o better understand the self-perceptionsof the disa'dvanted parentf.dik , The Self-Perception of High-Risk and Low-RiskPArentv .40 A pargnt's self-perception is likelyto affect attitudes toward child- rearing as well as perceptions of the child. In an investigation of middle- 1,3 ..e class mothers Medinnus and Curtis found a strodU positive 4 1 correlation between each of two indepen4ent assessments ofmaternal self-acceptance and a mg-asure of maternal acceptance of her child. A study by Ramey and Campbell12 has reported that'attitudes.towardchildrearing relate to attitudes about self in low-risk and in high-riskmothers. Risk status,of S. childen for mild mental retardationwas determined by a psychosocial index '1,4wreportedby Ramey and Smit05 fn theRamey and Campbell researc\the Parental Attitudes Research Instrument and LheRotter Internal-Externalmeasure, of locus-of-control were administeredto both types of mothers. The high- risk mothers perceiveil ehemselvesas being much less in control of enviionmental reinforcement than did the low-risk mothers. As parents, the high-risk mothers described themselves as more authoritarian, less democratic, and less hostile . and tejecting than did the low-risk mothers. k 1 Maternal attitudes 4 14' There is an intuitive as wellas a theoretical linkage among parental , . 10 attitudes and child self-concepts. The Medinnus and Curtis study of middle-class mothers implied, but didnot demonstrate, that maternal acceptance of her child and child self-conceptare related. In research with 18 drsadvantaged populations, Toccoand Bridges reported positive correlations between each of two measures of maternalself-concept and a measure of child self-concept. A comprehenive understanding of howparental attitudes. toward.self, parenting, and the childrelate to the child's self-concept, in Low-risk and in high-risk populations,is,clearly needed. Parental Attitudes,_ Child,Intelligence,and Schoor Achievement A further consideration is how parental attitudesinfluence the-child't cognitive development, Although models of lamily patterns typicallyaddress 14 this relationship few empirical prospective longitudinalstudies have 7 been c onducted.. A study by Engel and Keane illustrates the influenCe 'UThich maternal attitudesmay have on a child's intelligence. In their study a group of 44 black maleswere followed from birth to 66 months, with assessment of intellectual deveropment at 14, 18,22, and 66 months: Mothers were rated for "psychological mindedness," theextent to which one perceives 4. others to have psychological,as well'as physical, needs. The mothdrs' psychological mindedness when the boys were 14 months was found to predidtthe boys' intellectual development, as measured bythe Bayley Mental Scale, at -) 22 months (1. .46, <.001) and at 66 months, as measured bythe WPPSI (r .48, <.05). These findings suggest that interventionlaimed at raising a mother's psychologicai mindednessmay in.turn positively influence her child's intelligence. Maternal attitudes

    THE DIVINE COMEDY – A BIOGRAPHY The Divine Comedy is Neil Hannon. Over the years, the name has encompassed other musicians, but the driving force of the band and its main (sometimes only!) member has always been Neil Hannon. He chose the name 'The Divine Comedy' aged 18, almost at random. He and two Enniskillen school friends needed a new name for their band and Neil spotted a copy of Dante’s epic poem on the family bookshelf. It stuck, and a year later it was the name under which the trio signed to Irish run indie Setanta Records. They left Northern Ireland, moved into a squat in London, released a mini-album, 1990’s REM/Ride influenced 'Fanfare for the Comic Muse' and ‘91’s ‘Europop’ E.P. then split up. Neil's bandmates went to university and Neil returned home. Retaining the name, he spent 18 months living in his parents’ attic, sleeping during the day, watching old movies and writing songs at night. Influenced by everything from Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and Michael Nyman to "A Room with a View", Wordsworth, and Mr Benn, these songs eventually evolved into two albums. The first of these, ‘Liberation’ was released in 1993. Totally different to anything else around, and indeed his previous work, he now considers it his first album proper. The press adored it. The NME described it as "..an array of seductive yarns.. glorious, gleeful tunesmanship." Dave Cavanagh, writing in Select said "...one of the bountiful, overflowing joys of the year. Any year." Melody Maker described it as "An album that could make any listener want to stumble up to him and proclaim ‘Neil, you’re a genius’".

    European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2002) 56, 252–263 ß 2002 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0954–3007/02 $25.00 www.nature.com/ejcn ORIGINAL COMMUNICATION Fat content of the diet among pre-school children in Britain; relationship with food and nutrient intakes I Rogers1 and P Emmett* and the ALSPAC Study Team1 1Unit of Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, Division of Child Health, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK Objective: To investigate the relationship between the percentage of energy from fat and food and nutrient intakes at 18 and 43 months of age. Design: Diet was assessed using a 3 day unweighed food record. The children were divided into quartiles of fat intake as a percentage of energy (QFI), and food and nutrient intakes in the different QFIs were compared. Subjects: A total of 1026 children at 18 months and 863 children at 43 months, taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood, participated. Results: At 18 months the mean (s.d.) fat intake was 31.2 (2.8) % of energy in the lowest QFI and 43.1 (2.2) % in the highest. Energy intake increased slightly with increasing QFI. The percentage of energy derived from total sugar, and in particular non- milk extrinsic sugar fell as QFI increased, as did the ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids. Intakes of retinol equivalents and zinc increased significantly with increasing QFI, while intakes of iron and most water soluble vitamins fell. There was a particularly marked fall in vitamin C intake as fat intake increased, from 11.8 mg=MJ in the lowest QFI, to 6.0 mg=MJ in the highest (P < 0.001).
