Dr. Dinah Meyer publishes study in Journal of Women & Aging
Muskingum University Associate Professor of Psychology Dinah Meyer recently published an article, “Psychosocial needs of first-time mothers over 40,” in the Journal of Women & Aging. The study focuses on women who gave birth to their first child at age 40 or later, an understudied group.
Dr. Meyer believes this study can provide insight to professionals and non-academics alike.
“My hope is that medical and psychological professionals can give credence to the evidence that their experience is different from that of their younger peers,” said Dr. Meyer. “I also hope to see a shift in the public perception of older parents from one that views them as an anomaly to be concerned about to one that respects the stability, wisdom and resources that they typically can provide to their child.”
