title: Patterns of Child Rearing and Subsequent Follow-ups , 1951-1988

description: This study consists of data collected from the children whose mothers participated in the 1951-1952 Sears, Maccoby, and Levin Patterns of Child Rearing study. This follow-up focused on the child-rearing antecedents of psychopathology in later life.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 
It was decided that it would be helpful to organize the data and supplemental materials in two ways: each follow-up as a complete, separate study, and a combined file containing all waves of data. Below is listed all studies which have been conducted to date and the variables in each of them: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
