Koren-Karie, Nina; Oppenheim, David; Dolev, Smadar; Sher, Efrat; Etzion-Carasso, Ayelet
Developmental Psychology, v38 n4 p534-42 Jul 2002
Examined associations among mothers' insightfulness into their 12-month-olds' internal experience as assessed through interviews regarding mothers' videotaped interaction with their infant, mothers' sensitivity to infant's signals during laboratory and home play sessions, and infant's security of attachment to mothers in the Strange Situation. Found that positively insightful mothers were more sensitive and more likely to have securely attached children than mothers not so classified. (Author/KB)
