A Home-Based Description of Attachment in Physically Disabled Infants.

Investigated attachment security and behavior in 34 physically disabled infants and 26 non-disabled infants using convergent, categorical, and continuous (Attachment Behavior Q-Set) measures of relationship, based on the same set of home observations. Proportions of attachment classifications were identical for each group, but insecure disabled infants scored consistently lower on the AQS security score than insecure non-disabled infants. (TJQ)
