通过观察母亲在分娩后仍在医院的第一个婴儿（N = 144）和3个月大的婴儿（N = 115）喂养和玩耍婴儿吸引力与母亲行为之间的关系，研究了婴儿吸引力与母亲行为之间的关系。母亲对婴儿的态度也被评估。长得好看的婴儿的母亲比长得不好看的婴儿的母亲更有爱心，也更爱玩。相比之下，长得不好看的婴儿的母亲更有可能关注其他人，而不是自己的婴儿，并且更有可能进行日常照顾，而不是亲热的行为。长得不好看的婴儿的母亲的态度也比长得好看的婴儿的母亲的态度更消极，但态度上的差异并不像行为上的差异那么大。
The relations between infant attractiveness and maternal behavior were examined by observing mothers feeding and playing with their firstborn infants while they were still in the hospital after giving birth (N = 144) and again when the infants were 3 months of age (N = 115). The attitudes of the mothers toward their infants were also assessed. Mothers of more attractive infants were more affectionate and playful compared with mothers of less attractive infants. In contrast, the mothers of less attractive infants were more likely to be attentive to other people rather than to their infant and to engage in routine caregiving rather than affectionate behavior. The attitudes of the mothers of less attractive infants were also more negative than those of mothers of more attractive infants, but the number of differences in attitudes was not as great as the behavioral differences.
