Abstract
The 72-item version maternal behavior Q-set (MBQS; Pederson & Moran, 1995) was used to assess maternal behaviors (N = 74) during the Strange Situation Procedure. Results indicated that the MBQS scores significantly differentiated infant attachment categories and were significantly associated with a series of infants’ reunion behaviors.
► Maternal behaviors were observed during the Strange Situation Procedure (SSP). ► Maternal sensitivity assessed during the SSP predicted child's attachment patterns. ► Maternal sensitivity assessed during the SSP predicted child's reunion behaviors. ► A slightly modified maternal behavior Q-set (MBQS) produced significant results. ► This is the first study to use the MBQS during the SSP.
