- Summary:
-
A longitudinal investigation focused on the etiology of psychiatric and behavioral disorders in a sample of 190 children at risk for developmental problems. Data collection began during pregnancy and included assessments of: (1) parental personality, intelligence, and parenting attitudes; (2) parent-child interaction and relationship quality; (3) child temperament and cognitive and emotional development; and (4) life stress, marital harmony, and social support. Assessments were frequent and comprehensive in infancy and early childhood, with regular follow-up assessments during the elementary school years. Assessments included interviews with children, teachers, and parents, a review of school records, and direct observation of children. Findings indicated that attachment classification in infancy is one of the strongest risk factors in the data set. Further explorations of links between preschool behavior and problems in elementary school revealed an especially strong link between preschool aggressiveness and later problem behavior. Children with histories of secure attachment were judged as more competent than the other children by teachers and counselors. (RH)
