According to Ainsworth's maternal sensitivity hypothesis, a child's attachment style is influenced by the way their mother interacts with them.
- 'Sensitive' mothers react appropriately to their children's moods and feelings as well as to their requirements. Children of sensitive mothers are more likely to form strong attachments.
- Contrarily, women who are less attentive to their child, such as those who respond poorly to the child's needs or who are impatient or ignore the child, are more likely to have children who have insecure attachments.
- The findings of Ainsworth (1971, 1978) offered the first empirical support for Bowlby's attachment theory.
