Maternal Attachment Representations, Maternal Sensitivity, and the Infant-Mother Attachment Relationship.
Pederson, David R.; Gleason, Karin E.; Moran, Greg; Bento, Sandi
Developmental Psychology, v34 n5 p925-33 Sep 1998
Examined the mediating role of maternal sensitivity for the association between maternal attachment representations and the quality of infant-mother attachment. Found that autonomous mothers and mothers in secure relationships were more sensitive at home than nonautonomous mothers and mothers in nonsecure relationships, respectively. Infants in secure relationships were more secure on a Q sort than infants in nonsecure relationships. (Author)
