Behavioral Inhibition and Stress Reactivity: The Moderating Role of Attachment Security.
Nachmias, Melissa; And Others
Child Development, v67 n2 p508-22 Apr 1996
Examined role of mother-toddler attachment in moderating the relationships between behavioral inhibition and changes in salivary cortisol levels in response to novel events. Subjects were 77 infants 18 months old. Found elevations in cortisol only for inhibited toddlers in insecure attachment relationships. Mothers in these relationships appeared to interfere with their toddlers' coping efforts. (HTH)
