• Empathy from infancy to adolescence: An attachment perspective on the development of individual differences (2017, background): “…in a study of toddlers in a daycare setting that compared the behavior of non-abused and abused children (who tend to be insecurely attached; Cyr et al., 2010), Main and George (1985) observed that abused toddlers were much less likely to respond with empathy and comfort to peers’ distress;…”
• Precursors of attachment security (2018, background): “Early studies documenting links between child maltreatment and disorganized attachment—which a recent meta-analysis substantiates (Cyr et al., 2010)— gave birth to Main and Hesse’s (1990) hypothesis that fear in the attachment relationship serves as the driving force behind disorganization.”
• "The love that I was missing": Exploring the lived experience of motherhood among teen mothers in foster care (2015, background): “For example, in a sample of youth in the childwelfare system, 22%ofwomenwhohad gotten pregnant by 17 or 18 and 35% of thosewho became pregnant between their baseline interview and age 19 had “definitely” or “probably wanted” to become pregnant (Dworsky & Courtney, 2010).”
• ATTACHMENT THEORY AND RESEARCH: OVERVIEW WITH SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS TO CHILD CUSTODY (2011, background): “This is a fallacy which is (a) surprisingly widespread and (b) dangerous to custody decisions, and likely originates in the fact that a strong majority of infants who have actually been maltreated are coded as “disorganized” (see Cyr et al., 2010).”
