Peer Interactions, Relationships, and Groups

Journal ArticleDOI

Parent-child attachment and internalizing symptoms in childhood and adolescence: A review of empirical findings and future directions

TL;DR: The current findings are consistent with the hypothesis that insecure attachment is associated with the development of internalizing problems, and two models of how attachment insecurity may combine with other factors to lead to anxiety or depression are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex, attachment, and the development of reproductive strategies.

TL;DR: It is argued that sex differences in attachment emerge in middle childhood, have adaptive significance in both children and adults, and are part of sex-specific life history strategies, thus contributing to a coherent evolutionary theory of human development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The significance of attachment security for children’s social competence with peers: a meta-analytic study

TL;DR: This meta-analytic review examines the association between attachment during the early life course and social competence with peers during childhood, and compares the strength of this association with those for externalizing and internalizing symptomatology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Narrowing the Transmission Gap: A Synthesis of Three Decades of Research on Intergenerational Transmission of Attachment

TL;DR: It is confirmed that intergenerational transmission of attachment could not be fully explained by caregiver sensitivity, with more recent studies narrowing but not bridging the "transmission gap."

Security in infancy, childhood, and adulthood: A move to the level of representation.

Abstract: We are grateful to the Institute of Human Development, Berkeley, and to the Society for Research in Child Development for funding that made the study of our sample at 6 years possible. In its earlier phases, the Social Development Project was supported by the William T. Grant Foundation, by the Alvin Nye Main Foundation, and by Bio-Medical Support Grants 1-444036-32024 and 1-444036-32025 for studies in the behavioral sciences. The Child Study Center at the University of California was invaluable in its provision of subjects and in the training provided for our observers and examiners. The National Center for Clinical Infancy Programs provided support and assistance to Nancy Kaplan. This project would not have been possible without the direction and assistance provided by Donna Weston and by Bonnie Powers, Jackie Stadtman, and Stewart Wakeling in its first phases. For the initial identification of infants who should be left unclassified-an identification critical to the present study-we gratefully acknowledge both Judith Solomon and Donna Weston. Carol George participated in the designing of the sixth-year project; Ruth Goldwyn served as adult interviewer; and Ellen Richardson served as the child's examiner. The videotapes and transcripts of the sixth-year study were analyzed by Jude Cassidy, Anitra DeMoss, Ruth Goldwyn, Nancy Kaplan, Todd Hirsch, Lorraine Littlejohn, Amy Strage, and Reggie Tiedemann. Mary Ainsworth, John Bowlby, Harriet Oster, and Amy Strage provided useful criticism of earlier versions of this chapter. The overall conceptualization was substantially enriched by suggestions made by Erik Hesse.

Emotion regulation: a theme in search of definition

TL;DR: A perspective on how emotionregulation should be defined, the various components of the management of emotion, how emotion regulation strategies fit into the dynamics of social interaction, and how individual differences in emotion regulation should be conceptualized and measured is offered.

Attachments beyond infancy.

TL;DR: Attachment theory is extended to pertain to developmental changes in the nature of children's attachments to parents and surrogate figures during the years beyond infancy, and to thenature of other affectional bonds throughout the life cycle.
