Table 1.
Sociodemographic characteristics of the sample by maternal intrusiveness1.
| Characteristics | Non-intrusive (N = 42; 39.25% of total sample) |
Intrusive (N = 65; 60.75% of total sample) | Total sample (N = 107) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maternal age (years; ± SD) at study entry | 29.59 (3.28) | 26.51 (5.70)4 | 27.75 (5.09) |
| Parity status (number of children ± SD) at study entry Mother’s Race/ Ethnicity (self-report; n and percentages)2 |
1.12 (0.99) | 1.03 (1.21) | 1.07 (1.12) |
| Non-Hispanic White | 24 (60.0) | 20 (33.9) | 44 (41.1) |
| White Hispanic | 9 (22.5) | 27 (45.8) | 36 (33.6) |

| Maternal socioeconomic status (SES)3 | 3.65 (0.84) | 3.01 (0.97)4 | 3.26 (0.97) |
Note:
1
Maternal intrusiveness and sensitivity groups are based on median split;
2
missing values in race/ethnicity self-report: n = 8 (7.5%);
3
SES is a composite measure of maternal education and annual household income, coded from 1 [low SES] to 5 [high SES]);
4
significantly different from non-intrusive (p < .01).
