The Pennsylvania Infant and Family Devleopment Project, III: The Orgins of Individual Differences in Infant-Mother Attachment: Maternal and Infant Contributions.
Belsky, Jay; And Others
Child Development, v55 n3 p718-28 Jun 1984
To test hypotheses concerning interactional histories associated with variation in quality of infant-mother attachment, data were gathered during naturalistic home observations of 60 infants 1, 3, and 9 months of age. Responses were elicited on the Ainsworth and Wittig strange situations. Results concerned mothers' relatively greater influence in determining individual differences in attachment. (Author/RH)
