Parental Sensitivity, Infant Affect, and Affect Regulation: Predictors of Later Attachment.
Braungart-Rieker, Julia M.; Garwood, Molly M.; Powers, Bruce P.; Wang, Xiaoyu
Child Development, v72 n1 p252-70 Jan-Feb 2001
Examined extent to which parent sensitivity, infant affect, and affect regulation at 4 months predicted mother- and father-infant attachment classifications at 1 year. Found that affect regulation and maternal sensitivity discriminated infant-mother attachment groups. The association between maternal sensitivity and infant-mother attachment was partially mediated by infant affect regulation. (Author/KB)
