Parenting and Preschooler Attachment among Low-Income Urban African American Families.
Barnett, Douglas; Kidwell, Shari L.; Leung, Kwan Ho
Child Development, v69 n6 p1657-71 Dec 1998
Examined parental correlates of child attachment in preschool-aged, economically disadvantaged, urban, African-American sample. Found that 61% were securely attached, with girls more likely to be securely attached than boys. Parents of securely attached children were rated as more warm and accepting, less controlling, and less likely to use corporal punishment than parents of insecurely attached children. (Author)
