Spieker, Susan J.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v6 n3 p37-53 Fall 1986
The study examined the classification scheme of the Ainsworth Strange Situation measure of attachment security with 44 insecurely attached 13-month olds from a high-social-risk sample. Results supported the existence of an additional category of infants whose attachment behavior was "avoidant/ambivalent" and whose families were experiencing significantly more difficult life circumstances.
