本研究以黑人父母为对象，重复了两项早期研究，调查了白人父母在适应第一个婴儿时所遇到的困难。母亲们报告说，在适应婴儿方面，母亲们比父亲们要困难得多，正如之前在白人父母身上发现的那样，黑人父母的平均难度分数略高于白人父母。在 15 个潜在的预测变量中，出生后婚姻满意度、自己的年龄（是否计划和/或希望怀孕）、想要额外孩子的数量以及对婴儿性别的偏好与父亲对第一个孩子的调整有关，而自己的年龄和婴儿的年龄与母亲的调整有关。结论是，黑人父母在适应第一个孩子时遇到的困难比之前针对白人父母的研究报告的困难稍大一些，也有些不同，但他们的困难并不达到危机程度。
The present study replicates, using black parents, two earlier studies of the amount of difficulty reported by white parents in adjusting to their first infant. Mothers reported significantly more difficulty than fathers in adjusting to their infants, as had been found earlier with white parents and mean difficulty scores were slightly higher for black parents than for white parents. Of 15 potential predictor variables, postbirth marital satisfaction, age of self whether pregnancy was planned and/or desired, number of additional children desired, and preference for sex of baby were associated with fathers' adjustment to their first child, while age of self and age of baby were associated with adjustment by mothers. It was concluded that black parents' difficulties in adjusting to their first child were slightly greater than and somewhat different from difficulties reported in the prior studies of white parents, but their difficulties were not of crisis proportions.
