A Developmental Survey of Young Children's Attachments to Inanimate Objects.

Passman, Richard H.; Halonen, Jane S.

Journal of Genetic Psychology, v134 n2 p165-78 Jun 1979

Examines the validity of a maternal rating scale for pacifier-attachment in a laboratory setting. Once mothers' abilities to assess their children's attachment behavior were ascertained, a second study was designed to contrast the patterns of attachment to pacifiers, blankets, and hard objects in children between 1.5 and 63 months.
