Concordance in Attachment States of Mind and Styles with Respect to Fathers and Mothers
Furman, Wyndol; Simon, Valerie A.
Developmental Psychology, v40 n6 p1239-1247 Nov 2004
It is believed that by adulthood, independent attachments to the mother and the father coalesce into a single state of mind with respect to attachment. If true, states of mind with respect to mothers and fathers should be concordant. Fifty-six young adults were administered two versions of the Adult Attachment Interview, each of which asked about their relationship with one parent. State of mind with respect to the father was significantly related to state of mind with respect to the mother, as were attachment styles regarding the two parents. Perceptions of attachment styles were not very related to corresponding states of mind but were related to inferred loving from a parent.
