Abstract
TULKIN, STEVEN R. Social Class Differences in Attachment Behaviors of Ten-Month-Old Infants. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1973, 44, 171-174. Attachment behaviors of middle-class and workingclass female infants were observed during a play session and a separation session. There were no significant differences for behaviors during the play session. Upon separation, working-class infants cried as often as middle-class infants, athough middle-class infants cried sooner. Workingclass infants whose mothers worked--compared with infants of nonemployed working-class mothers--cried less frequently, and less frequently crawled to mother upon her return.
