Genetic Influence on Individual Differences in Attachment
Early studies indicated minimal genetic influence on individual differences in attachment, specifically in mother-infant attachment. While some infants show strong attachment and distress upon separation, others exhibit weaker attachment. Recent studies suggest a certain level of heritability in attachment. Notably, group differences like species variations do not correlate with individual differences within a species.
