Suppose you study two mothers who have new babies but who have different attitudes about how to care for a crying baby. Ruthie believes that every time her baby cries, she should be picked up and comforted. Glenda believes that picking up a crying baby will reinforce the crying and the child will become harder to care for. Research on this topic suggests that whose child is likely to cry less at age 1 year?
◦ Ruthie's baby will probably cry less, due to a stronger development of trust and attachment.
◦ Glenda's baby will probably cry less, due to a stronger development of reality and responsibility.
◦ Glenda's baby will probably cry less, because she will learn that crying does not lead to reward.
◦ Ruthie's and Glenda's babies will probably cry about the same amount, regardless of how their mothers attend to their crying.
