Child's Attachment to His/Her Mother, Father and Kindergarten Teacher
Cugmas, Zlatka
Early Child Development and Care, v177 n4 p349-368 May 2007
The purpose of this article was to introduce the newly developed scale of Child's Attachment to his/her Kindergarten Teacher and adapted scales of child's attachment to his/her mother and father. The main goal of the research was to analyze the relationships between child's attachment to his/her mother, father and kindergarten teacher. One hundred and seventy-eight kindergarten children (49% boys) and their mothers (n = 67), fathers (n = 57) and kindergarten teachers (n = 23) participated in the research. Children's ages ranged from 36 to 82 months. Little evidence was found for concordance in attachment quality between child-mother and child-father, and non-concordance between child-parent and child-teacher. (Contains 3 tables.)
