On the Motivational Bases for Attachment Behavior.
Jones, Susan Scanlon
Developmental Psychology, v21 n5 p848-57 Sep 1985
Tested two models of the relationship between a hypothetical attachment mechanism and an incompatible motivation (a tendency to explore) by pitting two levels of attachment motivation against two levels of exploratory motivation among 15- to 18-month-old infants, alternating freely between play with novel toys at one end of the room and visits with their mother at the other end.
