Social Stability and Psychological Adjustment During Pregnancy

ANTHONY DAVIDS Ph.D.1 and WILLIAM R. ROSENGREN S.Sc.D.1

1 Brown University and Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital, Providence and Riverside, R. I.

Thirty pregnant women, referred by obstetricians in private practice, were seen for a sociological interview and were administered a battery of psychological assessment procedures. Women who were dissatisfied with their social status and were otherwise socially unstable were found to be generally less happy, less happy to be pregnant, more anxious, higher on the personality syndrome of alienation, and more emotionally maladjusted.
