Phase 1: When the child was approximately one year old, both maternal sensitivity and infant attachment (secure vs. insecure) were assessed.
Phase 2: Approximately six months later, the mother’s attachment representations were measured (secure vs. insecure).
Phase 3: The present study applied the RFS to the AAI. Each response to the AAI's 18 questions was scored along the 11-point scale whenever the mother used RF in her answer. An aggregated score was then given for the whole interview.
