Q-Sort Assessment of Attachment Security during the Preschool Years: Links from Home to School.
DeMulder, Elizabeth K.; Denham, Susanne; Schmidt, Michelle; Mitchell, Jennifer
Developmental Psychology, v36 n2 p274-82 Mar 2000
This study investigated relations among preschoolers' attachment security to mothers, family stress, and peer and teacher relationships. Less family stress was related to more secure mother-child relationships. Less securely attached children expressed more anger-aggression in preschools. Boys' family stress was related to anger- aggression and social competence. Boys' secure attachment to mothers was related to teacher-child relationships and peer popularity. (Author/KB)
