Relations among different measures of maternal sensitivity were assessed longitudinally by examining maternal behavior when infants were 4 months, 15 months, and 2.5 years. At each time period, two measures of maternal sensitivity were scored (4 months: maternal vocal and smiling contingency in face-to-face interactions; 15 months: maternal scaffolding and following of infants' play within joint attention; 2.5 years: maternal facilitative and collaborative play within joint attention). When infants were 2.5 years, attachment security was assessed. Mothers' scores on each maternal sensitivity measure within each time period were correlated with their maternal sensitivity scores in another time period, suggesting individual measures of maternal sensitivity were tapping similar aspects across the time periods. Maternal vocal contingency at 4 months was the strongest predictor of infants' attachment security over 2 years later.
通过观察婴儿 4 个月、15 个月和 2.5 岁时的母亲行为，对不同的母亲敏感性测量指标之间的关系进行了纵向评估。在每个时间段，都对两种母亲敏感性指标进行了评分（4 个月：面对面互动中母亲的声音和微笑的一致性；15 个月：母亲在共同关注中对婴儿游戏的指导和跟随；2.5 岁：母亲在共同关注中促进和协作游戏）。当婴儿 2.5 岁时，评估了他们的依恋安全性。母亲在每个时间段的每个母亲敏感性指标上的得分与她们在另一个时间段的母亲敏感性得分相关，这表明母亲敏感性的个体测量指标在整个时间段都在捕捉相似的方面。4 个月时母亲的声音一致性是对 2 年后婴儿依恋安全性的最强预测因素。
