International Journal of Behavioral Development, v14 n3 p249-71 Sep 1991

A total of 101 mothers from Montreal and Chicago used the Attachment Q-Sort to describe their two- or three-year-old children. Analyses indicated some group differences on derived item scales and criterion scores. Analyses accounting for maternal variables indicated that only the criterion score for attachment security differed across the groups. (BC)
