Attachment Security in Very Low Birth Weight Infants.
Mangelsdorf, Sarah C.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v32 n5 p914-20 Sep 1996
Compared 34 infants of very low birth weight (VLBW) and 40 full-term infants, using Ainsworth's Strange Situation procedure and Waters' Attachment Q-Set. Found that, at 14 months, VLBW infants were more likely than full-term infants to be insecurely attached when rated using the Q-Set but not when using the Strange Situation. (MDM)
