The Influence of Culturally Derived Values on Anglo and Puerto Rican Mothers' Perceptions of Attachment Behavior.

Harwood, Robin L.

Child Development, v63 n4 p822-39 Aug 1992

Based on information provided by Anglo and Puerto Rican mothers living in the New Haven, Connecticut area, culturally sensitive vignettes of toddler attachment behavior were constructed. In response to the vignettes, Anglo mothers focused on children's individual autonomy, while Puerto Rican mothers emphasized children's maintenance of proper demeanor. (BC)
