Abstract

This article explores the correlation between early attachment styles and certain parental and biological factors. Early attachment is a commonly used theory in early education, parent-child relationship therapy, and many other aspects in the field of child development. Parental factors are highly involved in early attachment formation, and its correlations with secure or insecure attachment were consistent in numerous studies. The author looked into different predictors of early parent-child attachment and evaluates some possible explanations of the predictive relationships. Although parenting and characteristics of parents were often argued in previous research, few studies focus on the internal features of infants that may relate to the early attachment. The author then discussed briefly how infant temperament and genetic agents may influence the internal working model of infants. Finally, the impacts of early attachment in children on future development are also discussed in the last few sections. Future directions on particular elements within the predictors and methodological problems in research design are suggested.
