Three Year-Old Child-Father Attachment Security and Dependency : Q-Sort Observation at Home

Abstract

70 fathers and their 3-year-old children were observed at home by mothers. Attachment security and dependency were scored from Q-Sort, reports of mothers using the Wags Attachment Behavior Q-Set(Revision 3.0). The study results showed that the range of attachment security was from -.30∼.57(mean, .22) and that of attachment dependency was from -.49 ∼.50(mean,.01). Attachment security and dependency were conceptually orthogonal(r=.05). The child's sex and the birth order did not show any significant effect on the attachment security and dependency. This study focused on the child-father attachment showed lower attachment security than the child-mother attachment of the former studies. This means that father's role has less effectiveness in secure base for the child than mother's.
