Examined the
effects of maternal employment and separation anxiety on maternal
interactive behavior and infant attachment in 73 mother-infant pairs.
Employed mothers who reported high levels of separation anxiety
were more likely than low-anxiety mothers to exhibit intrusive behaviors.
Although employment was not directly related to attachment, infants
of high-anxiety employed mothers developed anxious-avoidant attachment.
