The majority of mothers (72%) were accurate. Of those who were inaccurate, 83% had underestimated the child's weight status, whereas only 17% had overestimated. Mothers of heavier children were more likely to underestimate their child's weight status.

When age, education, number of pregnancies, and religiosity were controlled, Mikvah non-attenders and Protestants most strongly endorsed a view of menstruation as a bothersome event. No significant differences were found, however, in expected or retrospectively reported menstrual symptoms. Correlational analyses indicated that attitudes, expectancies, and symptoms were significantly correlated only for the Catholic women. Differences between groups in religiosity and socialization were found. The Jewish women endorsed doctrines such as "menstruation makes women unclean" more than Catholic or Protestant women. Results support the hypothesized differential religious training regarding menstruation, but only offer weak support for the effects of this training on menstrual attitudes, expectancies, and symptoms.
