For Jap a nese women, social assur ance pre dicted a more pos i tive mater nal rela tion ship. Accep tance cor re lated with less Time 1 dis tress in both sam ples. Sur pris ingly, per sonal influ ence gen er ally did not pre dict pos i tive out comes in either sam ple, per haps because nor mal preg nancy is a time-lim ited event with a pos i tive prog no sis. The find ings are con sis tent with the view that well-being is related to indi vid ual vari ables in the United States but also to features of social relationships in Japan.
