Turner, Patricia J.
Child Development, v62 n6 p1475-88 Dec 1991
Preschool children's security of attachment was assessed in the laboratory, and their interactions with peers were observed in the preschool. Insecure boys showed more aggressive, disruptive, assertive, and controlling behavior than secure children. Insecure girls showed more dependent and compliant behavior, and less assertive and controlling behavior than secure children. (BC)
