  • Title: Attachment to transitional objects: role of maternal personality and mother-toddler interaction.
    Author: Steir AJ, Lehman EB.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 2000 Jul; 70(3):340-50. PubMed ID: 10953780.
    Abstract:
    The origins of soft-object attachments were explored in terms of maternal personality and child temperament as measured by maternal questionnaires and by laboratory observation of child temperament and mother-toddler interactions. Toddlers' soft-object attachments were found to be predicted by the maternal variables of constraint and positive affectivity, the latter in combination with low child activity level.
