Paquette, D., Zoccolillo, M., Bigras, M., Labelle, M. E., Azar, R., & Emery, J. (2004). A Comparative Study of Parental Sensitivity Between Three Groups of Adolescent Mothers. Journal of Emotional Abuse, 4(1), 85–104. https://doi.org/10.1300/J135v04n01_05
Adolescent mothers living in group homes were more often sensitive to their infants (29%) than adolescent mothers with conduct disorder who weren’t in group homes (7%), mainly because fewer of them were unresponsive, but the groups had similar numbers of overly controlling mothers, possibly because group home staff find that behaviour harder to detect.
