Journal Article
Playful Interaction and the Antecedents of Attachment: A Longitudinal Study of Central American and Euro-American Mothers and Infants
1997
Overview
Microanalytic procedures were used to explore maternal and infant behaviors, behavioral coordination, maternal response, and nonresponse in relation to security of attachment. Two samples, one of recent immigrants from Central America (n = 39) and the other of mothers and infants from middle-class Euro-American backgrounds (n = 40) were videotaped when the infants were ages 4, 8, and 12 months. Individual differences on measures of maternal response and nonresponse were stable over time and strongly related to the security of attachment, as were some measures of infant behavior and behavioral coordination. The maternal response measures reflected similar associations between maternal behavior and attachment security in the two groups. The results are consistent with other findings showing that mothers of insecure infants are most involved with their infants in such contexts.
