Parent, Infant, and Social-Contextual Antecedents of Father-Son Attachment Security.
Belsky, Jay
Developmental Psychology, v32 n5 p905-13 Sep 1996
Examined the antecedents of infant-father attachment among 136 father-son dyads using the Ainsworth and Wittig Strange Situation procedure and questionnaires. Found that fathers of secure infants were more extroverted and agreeable than fathers of insecure infants, tended to have more positive marriages, and experienced more positive emotional spillover between work and family.
