Genetic and environmental influence on attachment disorganization.

Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, and allied disciplines - 1 Aug 2009

Spangler Gottfried, Johann Monika, Ronai Zsolt, Zimmermann Peter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Empirical studies demonstrate that maternal sensitivity is associated with attachment security in infancy, while maternal frightening/frightened behavior is related to attachment disorganization. However, attachment disorganization is also predicted by individual dispositions in infancy. Indeed, recent studies indicate a link between attachment disorganization and DRD4 gene polymorphisms, thus...
