Attachment and Emotion in Autobiographical Memory Development.
Farrar, M. Jeffrey; Welch-Ross, Melissa K.; Fasig, Lauren G.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v67 n3 p389-408 Dec 1997
Assessed the relationship of attachment status to autobiographical memory in preschoolers. Found that mother-child dyads with insecurely attached daughters engaged in relatively more negative memory talk than those with securely attached daughters. Secure-daughter dyads elaborated more on emotional themes than insecure-daughter dyads. Relations between attachment status and emotion talk for mother-son dyads were inconsistent. (KB)
