Child Emotionality and Maternal Responsiveness as Predictors of Reunion Behaviors in the Strange Situation: Links Mediated and Unmediated by Separation Distress.
Kochanska, Grazyna; Coy, Katherine C.
Child Development, v73 n1 p228-40 Jan-Feb 2002
Examined infants' emotionality, inside and outside of the relationship with the mother, and mothers' responsiveness as predictors of reunion behaviors in the Strange Situation. Found that children's separation distress mediated influence of predictors and itself predicted reunion behaviors. When distress was controlled, some responses generally associated with a sub-optimal maternal relationship were associated with more avoidance and resistance upon reunion. (JPB)
