Origins of Infant-Mother Attachment: An Examination of Interactional Synchrony during the Infant's First Year.
Isabella, Russell A.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v25 n1 p12-21 Jan 1989
Tested the hypothesis that development of secure attachments is predictable from synchronous, and insecure attachments from asynchronous interactions across the first year. Findings from 30 dyads (10 secure, 10 avoidant, 10 resistant) supported the hypothesis at one and three months, with synchronous interaction observed at significantly, disproportionately frequent rate for securely attached dyads.
