Research Abstract

We asked 316 mothers to let their infants be NBAS subjects. One hundred and five infants served as NBAS subjects, and 47 among those 105 served as strange situation procedure subjects. We divided infants into three main groups by Ainsworth (1978) classical procedure, finding five A,thirty-five B,and six C infants. A-infants showed a significant decrease in NBAS autonomy cluster at the eighth day after birth. This means that A-infants have some delay in maturing process during the first month after birth.
Ainsworth (1978) noted that maternal sensitiveity affects performing infant's attachment. We measured maternal responsiveness (contingency) toward infant's cry. Mothers of A-infants are most responseive among three groups. This means that they are psychologically available for infants. Our subjects should be homogeneous ; open minded, positive in mood, and accessible to infants. The pattern of attachment is consequently affected by infant's own temperament rather than maternal behavior.
