Comparisons of close relationships: An evaluation of relationship quality and patterns of attachment to parents, friends, and romantic partners in young adults. (2012, unknown): “…and present still in attachment literature, is the concept of attachment being relation-specific in the first years of life but transforming into a relatively stable trait-like characteristic during childhood (Bowlby, 1969/1982; 1973; Bretherton & Munholland, 2008; Thompson & Raikes, 2003).”
Attachment in the Early Life Course: Meta‐Analytic Evidence for Its Role in Socioemotional Development (2017, background): “According to attachment theory, internal working models are among the mechanisms linking early attachment experiences to later outcomes (4, 5), and in recent years, advances have been made in our understanding of the nature of such models.”
Attachment and the processing of social information across the life span: theory and evidence. (2011, background): “According to Bretherton and Munholland (1999, 2008), the idea that individuals possess internal working models of attachment meshes with broader research in cognitive neuroscience and social cognition.”
Leader and follower attachment styles: Implications for authentic leader–follower relationships (2014, background): “Specifically, ambivalent leaders will tend to view a relationship with a follower as being particularly important (Bretherton & Munholland, 2008), while at the same time characterizing it more negatively (because of biased views of the self and follower) than is warranted.”
Pathways between attachment and marital satisfaction: The mediating roles of rumination, empathy, and forgiveness (2014, background): “There is a theoretical continuity in attachment styles across the life span (Bretherton & Munholland, 2008).”
ATTACHMENT THEORY AND RESEARCH: OVERVIEW WITH SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS TO CHILD CUSTODY (2011, methodology): “These include the separation-reunion procedures for six year olds (Main & Cassidy, 1988) and three year olds (Cassidy & Marvin, 1992), and the Attachment Story Completion Task (Bretherton, Ridgeway & Cassidy, 1990).”
Mentalizing in the Development and Treatment of Attachment Trauma (2013, unknown): “…可估量的贡献。在鲍尔比的带领下，她对精神分析理论进行了系统的检验。第 1 章早期依恋 15 精神分析理论最初是以成人对童年依恋关系的记忆为基础的，成人对童年的记忆在依恋研究中仍然占有重要地位，但直接观察是无可替代的。毫无疑问，许多儿童精神分析学家，尤其是西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的女儿安娜·弗洛伊德，做了很多非常重要的观察，其许多观点与鲍尔比一致（Fonagy，2001）。同时期的丹尼尔·斯特恩（Daniel Stern）也为精神分析的发展性思考奠定了实证基础，他所做出的具有里程碑意义的贡献必须得到承认。（犹记得几十年前，我的同事马蒂·莱赫特曼（Marty…”
The Indirect Effect of the Mindful Parenting of Mothers and Fathers on the Child’s Perceived Well-Being Through the Child’s Attachment to Parents (2016, background): “Through repeated interactions with a responsive and sensitive caregiver, the child develops positive internal working models or mental representations of the self as worthy of care and love and of others as trustworthy and consistently available (Bretherton and Munholland 2008).”
Theories and possible processes of action in animal assisted interventions (2017, background): “A child’s mental representation, the “internal working model,” developed based on early experience (Bretherton & Munholland, 2008), is the basis for the formation of secure attachments with primary caregivers.”
