Stability and change of attachment at 14, 24, and 58 months of age: behavior, representation, and life events
Article Abstract:
Research assessing the quality of attachment of children to their mothers at 14, 24 and 58 months of age shows stability in attachment classification between 14 and 24 months. However, lack of stability was seen between either 14 or 24 months and 58 months. Mothers of children who did not show stability of attachment reported more negative and fewer positive life events. This research does not support a 'strong stability' attachment position, in which, in the face of normative developmental change, the pattern of attachment strategies formed around the end of the first year of life remains stable for subsequent interactions with others.
