The facial expressions of twenty-eight 13-month-old middle-class children were videotaped during the 3-minute separation episode of the Ainsworth strange-situation procedure. Anger was the dominant negative emotion expressed by the majority of children; patterns of emotion expression varied with type of attachment; and the proportion of time anger…

Examined associations among mothers' insightfulness into their 12-month-olds' internal experience as assessed through interviews regarding mothers' videotaped interaction with their infant, mothers' sensitivity to infant's signals during laboratory and home play sessions, and infant's security of attachment to mothers in the Strange Situation.…

Peer reviewedPassman, Richard H. – Developmental Psychology, 1977
The effects of the presence of an attachment object upon preschoolers' emotionality and discrimination performance in a novel learning situation were evaluated. Blanket-attached and blanket-nonattached children were assigned to one of three task conditions: (1) mother present, (2) blanket present, (3) no familiar object present. (Author/SB)

Peer reviewedBelsky, Jay; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Two studies were conducted to (1) develop measure of infants' executive capacity, defined as difference between infants' most sophisticated level of functioning displayed first in free and then in elicited play and (2) to test several hypotheses regarding relationship between these performance and competence measures of child functioning and home…

Peer reviewedCohen, Leslie Jordan; Campos, Joseph J. – Developmental Psychology, 1974

Peer reviewedMain, Mary; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1979
Thirty-eight infants at age one were seen with their mothers in a strange situation test. On the basis of reunion behavior in this situation, each infant was rated for security of attachment to the mother. Maternal behaviors were observed in a mother-child free-play setting when the infants were 21 months old. (JMB)

Peer reviewedFagot, Beverly I. – Developmental Psychology, 1997
Children's attachment behavior was assessed at 18 months. Children's behavior with peers was observed and teachers' ratings of children's peer relations were gathered from 18 to 24 months. Found that, in response to their own positive behaviors, insecure-resistant children received fewer positive reactions from peers, and insecure-resistant and…

Peer reviewedIsabella, Russell A.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1989
Tested the hypothesis that development of secure attachments is predictable from synchronous, and insecure attachments from asynchronous interactions across the first year. Findings from 30 dyads (10 secure, 10 avoidant, 10 resistant) supported the hypothesis at one and three months, with synchronous interaction observed at significantly,…

Peer reviewedMcBride, Susan; Belsky, Jay – Developmental Psychology, 1988
Based on data obtained on a sample of 63 mother-infant dyads, concludes that separation anxiety is multiply determined by characteristics of the mother, the infant, and the employment situation and that variation in anxiety has consequences for the development of attachment relationships. (RH)

Furman, Wyndol; Simon, Valerie A. – Developmental Psychology, 2004
It is believed that by adulthood, independent attachments to the mother and the father coalesce into a single state of mind with respect to attachment. If true, states of mind with respect to mothers and fathers should be concordant. Fifty-six young adults were administered two versions of the Adult Attachment Interview, each of which asked about…

Madigan, Sheri; Moran, Greg; Pederson, David R. – Developmental Psychology, 2006
The links between unresolved maternal attachment status, disrupted maternal interaction in play situations, and disorganized attachment relationships were examined in a study of 82 adolescent mother-infant dyads. Maternal interactive behavior was measured using the Atypical Maternal Behavior Instrument for Assessment and Classification coding…
