Social Network Relations in Infancy: An Observational Study.

Levitt, Mary J.; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v39 n2 p233-51 Apr 1993

Assessed infants' attachment behaviors toward nonparental adults, including grandparents, other relatives, and family friends. Found that the extent of infants' attachment behavior to nonparental adults was related to infant-mother attachment behavior and to the nonparental adult's responsiveness in teaching and position in the mother's social network.
