Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parents with a history of insecure attachment are more likely to view their infants negatively. Research shows that parents who have experienced insecure attachment in their own childhood may have difficulty forming positive attachments with their own children and may view them more negatively. This can lead to negative parenting behaviors that negatively affect the development of secure attachment in infants. The other statements are not supported by current research.
