Attachment in the making: Mother and father sensitivity and infants' responses during the Still-Face Paradigm
This study examined the extent to which infant and parent response trajectories during the

of age and participated in the Strange Situation procedure when infants were 12 months of
age (mothers) and 14 months of age (fathers). Multilevel models showed that parent
sensitivity assessed during the SFP was related to infants' affective and behavioral response …
