The Relation Between Perceived and Population Based Environmental Risk and Maternal Stress

by Centia Thomas

This current study attempts to identify which environmental risk factors affect maternal stress, and how the difference between perceived and population-based environment risk factors are related to participant's indications of maternal stress. The results of this study suggest that mothers with higher socioeconomic statuses are more likely to present more indicators of maternal stress, and that perceived environmental risk does not have a statistical significance on the severity of maternal stress reported.
