Abstract
Mothers of infants with varying degrees of medical risk were grouped accord ing to their perception of acceptance or rejection in childhood. Those who recalled the highest degree of acceptance showed greater warmth and flexibi lity as parents, regardless of their infants' degree of medical risk. Howev er, infant medical risk was an important moderator in relations between mat ernal perceptions of childhood rejection and parental behavior.
