Emotional Determinants of Infant-Mother Attachment.
Izard, Carroll E.; And Others
Child Development, v62 n5 p906-17 Oct 1991
Mothers' emotion and personality characteristics were assessed by behavior ratings and self-reports; infants' characteristics by maternal reports and objective coding. Security of infant-mother attachment in the Ainsworth Strange Situation was predicted by mothers' emotional experience, expressive behavior, and personality traits, and by infants' expressive and temperamental characteristics.
