Maternal role attainment (MRA) is frequently cited in theoretical articles and research published in the nursing literature. This paper presents an historical and empirical review of MRA. Variables influencing MRA are described. New data are presented raising questions about the original conceptualization of MRA and suggesting possible discrete affective and behavioral dimensions of the construct.
