Child's attachment to mother and self-image in early childhood
(resume)

The correlation between such parameters as attachment specificity, the level of child's self-image development, mother's self-image, mother's evaluation of her attachment to the child and her subjective evaluation of child's attachment to her is shown. It is demonstrated that child's high level of self-image development corresponds to more pronounces independence. The mothers of such children are characterised by high level of self-image, strong attachment to a child which they judge to be stronger than child's attachment to mother. On the contrary, children with low level of self-image demonstrate affective, non-stable attachment to mother, and their mothers are characterised by lower self-evaluation and judge their attachment to a child to be weaker that child's attachment to them.
