A New Mediational Model of Attachment Transmission: A regression analysis using RF and maternal sensitivity to predict infant security was significant [R2 = .29, F(2, 34) = 6.78, p < .01]. A comparison with Van Ijzendoorn’s model is presented in Figure 4.
Path Analysis: A path model (see Figure 5), demonstrated that RF had a significant impact on maternal sensitivity, which subsequently influenced infant security. Attachment representations had a significant impact on infant security, but this relationship was not mediated by maternal sensitivity [model R2 = .38, F(3, 33) = 6.75, p < .01].
