Effects of Familiarity and Maternal Attention on Infant Peer Relations.
Young, Gerald; Lewis, Michael
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v25 n2 p105-20 Apr 1979
Hypothesizes that infants with attentive mothers will interact more positively with consistent partners than with matched strangers. Finds that when mothers were attentive infant dyads composed of consistent partners interacted more than stranger dyads. Suggest that withdrawal of maternal attention may be equivalent to physical separation by a barrier. (RH)
