Infant-Mother Attachment at Twelve Months and Style of Interaction with a Stranger at the Age of Three Years.

Lutkenhaus, Paul; And Others

Child Development, v56 n6 p1538-42 Dec 1985

Children classified as securely attached at 12 months interacted faster and more smoothly with the stranger than did avoidantly-attached peers. Microanalyses revealed different styles of interaction. Failure feedback increased efforts of securely-attached and decreased efforts of insecurely-attached children. After failure, securely-attached children displayed sadness more openly than did insecurely-attached children. (Author/RH)
