THE MOTHERS OF THE CHILDREN TESTED WERE INTERVIEWED ABOUT THE ATTACHMENT OF THEIR CHILDREN
MOST CHILDREN WHO HAD SECURE ATTACHMENTS STAYED THE SAME, BECAUSE THEY WERE SECURE ABOUT THE CARE RECEIVED
THE SAME WENT FOR INSECURE ATTACHMENTS
HOWEVER, SOME SECURELY ATTACHED CHILDREN WERE FOUND TO CHANGE ATTACHMENT TYPE TO BECOME INSECURE IF THEY WERE EXPOSED TO RELATED STRESS
1 of 2
FACTORS AFFECTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATTACHMENTS
MATERNAL SENSITIVITY - THIS MEANS THE RESPONSIVENESS OF THE MOTHER TO THE CHILD. IF THE MOTHER BECOMES LESS RESPONSIVE, THE ATTACHMENT BECOMES INSECURE
INFANT TEMPERAMENT - THIS REFERS TO THE PERSONALITY TRAIT OF THE CHILD. KAGAN SAID THAT THE ATTACHMENT TYPE WILL DEPEND ON THE INFANTS' LEVELS OF TEMPERAMENT
EMOTIONAL AVAILABILITY - THE MORE EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE THE MOTHER/CHILD IS, THE MORE SECURE THE ATTACHMENT WILL BE
