Examined validity
of Strange Situation attachment classifications for infants with
and without extensive child-care experience and the association
of early child-care experience with attachment security. Found that
infants were less likely to be secure when low maternal sensitivity
was combined with poor quality child care, more than minimal amounts
of child care, or more than one care arrangement. (Author)
