TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Infant reaction to parental separations when left with familiar and unfamiliar adults JO - Journal of genetic psychology A1 - Kotelchuck, M. A1 - Zelazo, P. R. A1 - Kagan, J. A1 - Spelke, E. SP - 255 EP - 262 VL - 126 IS - 2d Half N2 - The results of two experiments examining infants at 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 months of age and varying levels of father interaction are summarized to show that separation protest is more a function of a strange person remaining in an unfamiliar laboratory situation with the infant than the temporary loss of a specific parent. The use of protest as an index of infant-parent attachment seems undesirable.
