Main, Mary; And Others

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v50 n1-2 p66-104 1985

Discusses individual differences in attachment relationships as they relate to individual differences in mental representation, that is, in the individual's "internal working models" of attachment. Compares individual differences in security of attachment to each parent as assessed in the Ainsworth Strange Situation in infancy to diverse measures of security, functioning, and representation at 6 years of age.
