Stability and Change in Infant Attachment in a Low-Income Sample.
Vondra, Joan I.; Hommerding, Katherine Dowdell; Shaw, Daniel S.
Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v64 n3 p119-44 1999
Investigated role of maternal characteristics and behavior, perceptions of social support, and infant characteristics to differentiate early patterns of infant security, organized insecurity and disorganization among socioeconomically disadvantaged families. Found a variety of correlations with different attachment patterns. Also found that change in patterns were as common as stability, and that instability was found more often in lower-income families.
