Answer 2

Explanation:

Drawing on theories of attachment and family instability, this study examined associations between early mother-child separation and subsequent maternal parenting behaviors and children’s outcomes in a sample of 2080 families who participated in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project, the vast majority of whom were poor. Multiple regression models revealed that, controlling for baseline family and maternal characteristics and indicators of family instability, the occurrence of a mother-child separation of a week or longer within the first two years of life was related to higher levels of child negativity (at age 3) and aggression (at ages 3 and 5). The effect of separation on child aggression at age 5 was mediated by aggression at age 3, suggesting that the effects of separation on children’s aggressive behavior are early and persistent.

A central component of attachment theory is the notion that caregivers must be present and accessible in order for their children to become attached to them. Prior to developing a focus on individual differences in attachments throughout the lifespan, Bowlby was concerned with the well-being of children who experienced separations from their mothers (Kobak & Madsen, 2008). His early work demonstrated that separations as brief as one week in duration could negatively impact the quality of the relationship between mother and child (Bowlby, 1969/1982). Since this time, however, very little research has examined the impact of separations as a potential marker of disruptions in attachment relationships. The present study draws on the multi-site Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project to examine the impact of early mother-child separation on both maternal parenting and subsequent child development.
