This study examined the links between mothers’ empathic understanding of their preschoolers’ internal experience and early infant-mother attachment. The empathic understanding of 118 mothers of 4.5-year-olds was assessed by showing them three videotaped segments of observations of their children and themselves and interviewing them regarding their children’s and their own thoughts and feelings. Interviews were rated and then classi” ed into one empathic and three nonempathic categories, and mothers’ misperceptions of the observations were coded as well. Infant-mother attachment classifications obtained using the Strange Situation when infants were 12 months old were also available. Results showed associations between mothers’ empathic understanding classifications and children’s attachment classifications as well as differences between mothers of secure and insecure children on one of the two interview composite scores. Also, mothers of insecurely attached children had more misperceptions than those of securely attached children. The contributions of this study to the work on mothers’ representations of their children are discussed.

Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space. Assertiveness can be defined as the ability to express one’s own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in an explicit and appropriate manner, and to show respect for other’s rights while protecting one’s own. The present quantitative study uses a between group design to study the differences between male and female college students with respect to levels of parent attachment, peer attachment and their dimensions (viz., trust, communication and alienation) and assertiveness. The relationship between mother attachment, father attachment, peer attachment and assertiveness was analysed in both the groups using a correlational design. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data from male (N=200) and female (N=200) college students. Inventory for Parent and Peer Attachment and Rathus Assertiveness Schedule was used. Independent t-test results indicated no difference between males and females with respect to parent attachment, peer attachment and assertiveness. Correlation results indicated a significant positive relationship between assertiveness and the dimensions trust and communication of mother attachment. There was a negative correlation between assertiveness and trust of father attachment and a positive correlation between assertiveness and alienation of father attachment. A negative correlation between assertiveness and the dimensions trust and communication of peer attachment and a positive correlation between assertiveness and alienation of peer attachment were also indicated with correlation. Results also revealed difference in the levels of assertiveness among college students having dominant mother, father or peer attachment. The present study reiterates earlier findings on attachment. Assertiveness in college students could help them build their individual character and personality and help in interpersonal interactions.
