Comparison of selective attention and attachment methods in two groups of children with working mothers and non-working mothers

The point of the research is to compare selective attentionrate and attachment methods in two groups of children with working mothers and non-working mothers. Based on an estimate relating to this research, the variable of mother’s working condition affects the rate of children’s selective attention and also the formation of their attachment methods. For this reason, Collins and Reed questionaire was used in order to measure the attachment methods related to working mothers children V.S those of non-working mothers and also the D2 concentration and effort test was taken to measure the amount of their attention. The target group in this research includes all teen aged girl 2th graders in the second educational district of Tehran out of which 60 students were chosen randomly from the group of working mothers and 60 from the group on non-working mothers. In order to analyze the gathered information, independent sample T test was taken. The results showed that the efficiency score (KL) for both groups were different, in such ways that children with non-working mothers acquired a higher score in concentration. Other gathered information showed that there is a noticeable gap between the two groups in the fields of GZ and GZ-F , in such ways that children with non-working mothers benefit from better conditions and stand out in comparison to children with working mothers, and the result of this research shows that there is no difference in the attachment methods shown by both groups.
