The Similarity of Siblings' Attachments to Their Mother.
van IJzendoorn, Marinus H.; Moran, Greg; Belsky, Jay; Pederson, David; Bakermans-Kranenburg, Marian J.; Fisher, Kirstie
Child Development, v71 n4 p1086-98 Jul-Aug 2000
Pooled sibling attachment data to compare attachment relationships to mothers for 138 sibling pairs. Found that sibling relationships were significantly concordant when classified as secure/nonsecure but not when further subcategorized. Maternal insensitivity to both siblings was associated with concordance of sibling nonsecurity. Same gender siblings were more likely to form concordant relationships with mothers than opposite gender siblings. (Author/KB)
