Eiden; Maria S. Wong; Geoffrey L. Brown; Isabel Soares; Mirjam Oosterman; R. M. Pasco Fearon; Howard Steele; Carla Martins; Ora Aviezer – Child Development, 2024
An individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted to test pre-registered hypotheses about how the configuration of attachment relationships to mothers and fathers predicts children's language competence. Data from seven studies (published between 1985 and 2014) including 719 children (M[subscript age]: 19.84 months; 51% female; 87% White)…

Japanese Mothers' Prebirth Adult Attachment Interview Predicts Their Infants' Response to the Strange Situation Procedure: The Strange Situation in Japan Revisited Three Decades Later
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kondo-Ikemura, Kiyomi; Behrens, Kazuko Y.; Umemura, Tomo; Nakano, Shigeru – Developmental Psychology, 2018
The current study investigated the intergenerational transmission of attachment in Sapporo, Japan, using the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the Strange Situation Procedure (SSP). This is the first SSP study in Sapporo in three decades, after a study in the mid-1980s reported controversial results. The SSP distributions found in the current…

The Intergenerational Transmission of Emotion Socialization
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Leerkes, Esther M.; Bailes, Lauren G.; Augustine, Mairin E. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
We examined the extent to which new mothers' recollections of their mothers' emotion socialization practices during childhood predict sensitive/supportive responses to their own toddlers in distressing situations both directly and indirectly via effects on mothers' social information processing about infant cry signals. Mothers' adult attachment…

Can Adults with Asperger's Syndrome Learn about Positive Attachment Behaviors between Parents and Young Babies through the Use of a Skill-Training DVD?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brandaro, Nicola; Stenfert Kroese, Biza – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Objectives: To explore how much people with Asperger's syndrome know and understand about early attachment behaviors and whether this knowledge can be increased through a DVD. Methods: Adults with Asperger's syndrome who were not parents (N = 28) took part in four experimental conditions: Baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention, and…

What about the Child's Tie to the Father? A New Insight into Fathering, Father-Child Attachment, Children's Socio-Emotional Development and the Activation Relationship Theory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dumont, Caroline; Paquette, Daniel – Early Child Development and Care, 2013
The broad aim of this study on father-child attachment was to verify whether the Risky Situation (RS) procedure is a more valid means than the Strange Situation (SS) procedure of predicting children's socio-emotional development, and to evaluate the moderator effect of day-to-day involvement on attachment and activation. Participants were 53…

Genetic Contributions to Continuity and Change in Attachment Security: A Prospective, Longitudinal Investigation from Infancy to Young Adulthood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Raby, K. Lee; Cicchetti, Dante; Carlson, Elizabeth A.; Egeland, Byron; Collins, W. Andrew – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2013
Background: Longitudinal research has demonstrated that individual differences in attachment security show only modest continuity from infancy to adulthood. Recent findings based on retrospective reports suggest that individuals' genetic variation may moderate the developmental associations between early attachment-relevant relationship…

Taking Stress Response out of the Box: Stability, Discontinuity, and Temperament Effects on HPA and SNS across Social Stressors in Mother-Infant Dyads
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Laurent, Heidemarie K.; Ablow, Jennifer C.; Measelle, Jeffrey – Developmental Psychology, 2012
This study investigated continuity and stability of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) response measures in mother-infant dyads across 2 different types of social stress sessions. Synchrony of response trajectories across systems (SNS-HPA coordination) and partners (mother-infant attunement) was addressed, as…

Broadening the Study of Infant Security of Attachment: Maternal Autonomy-Support in the Context of Infant Exploration
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Whipple, Natasha; Bernier, Annie; Mageau, Genevieve A. – Social Development, 2011
Although security of attachment is conceptualised as a balance between infants' attachment and exploratory behaviours, parental behaviours pertaining to infant exploration have received relatively little empirical attention. Drawing from self-determination theory, this study seeks to improve the prediction of infant attachment by assessing…

Newborn Irritability Moderates the Association between Infant Attachment Security and Toddler Exploration and Sociability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stupica, Brandi; Sherman, Laura J.; Cassidy, Jude – Child Development, 2011
This longitudinal investigation of 84 infants examined whether the effect of 12-month attachment on 18- and 24-month exploration and sociability with unfamiliar adults varied as a function of newborn irritability. As expected, results revealed an interaction between attachment (secure vs. insecure) and irritability (highly irritable vs. moderately…

The Effects of Domestic Violence on the Stability of Attachment from Infancy to Preschool
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Levendosky, Alytia A.; Bogat, G. Anne; Huth-Bocks, Alissa C.; Rosenblum, Katherine; von Eye, Alexander – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2011
We hypothesized that trajectories of domestic violence (DV), maternal depression, and household income (from pregnancy to age 4) would be differentially associated with instability and stability of attachment, as measured by the Strange Situation at ages 1 and 4. Participants were 150 women and children. Women were first assessed during pregnancy…

Attachment in Adolescence: Overlap with Parenting and Unique Prediction of Behavioural Adjustment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Scott, Stephen; Briskman, Jacqueline; Woolgar, Matthew; Humayun, Sajid; O'Connor, Thomas G. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2011
Background: Attachment theory was conceptualized by Bowlby as relevant across the life span, from "cradle to grave". The research literature on attachment in infants and preschool-aged children is extensive, but it is limited in adolescence. In particular, it is unclear whether or not attachment security is distinguishable from other qualities of…

Pass, Laura; Arteche, Adriane; Cooper, Peter; Creswell, Cathy; Murray, Lynne – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012
Child social anxiety is common, and predicts later emotional and academic impairment. Offspring of socially anxious mothers are at increased risk. It is important to establish whether individual vulnerability to disorder can be identified in young children. The responses of 4.5 year-old children of mothers with social phobia (N = 62) and…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Pasco Fearon, R. M.; Belsky, Jay – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2011
Background: Some contend that attachment insecurity increases risk for the development of externalizing behavior problems in children. Method: Latent-growth curve analyses were applied to data on 1,364 children from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care to evaluate the association between early attachment and teacher-rated externalizing problems…

Predicting Infant Outcome in Families of Employed and Nonemployed Mothers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weinraub, Marsha; And Others – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 1988
Assessed the intelligence, attachment security, and dependency of 30 18-month-olds. Half of the infants' mothers were employed full time and half were nonemployed mothers. Studied were factors in mothers' lives such as stress, marital relationship, social contacts, and supports. Results suggest that different models to predict infant outcome in…
