title: Maternal sensitivity assessed during the strange situation procedure predicts child's attachment quality and reunion behaviors.
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.
