Using survey data from 292 mothers married to members of the U.S. military, the authors examined relations among military deployment factors, quality of maternal care, and child attachment behavior with the mother.
Separation or decreased quality of parenting may affect child attachment during military deployment. Relationships between child attachment, mother depressive symptoms and quality of child care, and father involvement and deployment variables were examined.
This study explores variables that influence worry and parent contact among senior military officers who face frequent moves, restricted housing, and overseas assignments, and who have been geographically separated from their parents most of their adult lives.

This study examined the unique and combined effects of child abuse and childrenÕs exposure to domestic violence on later attachment to parents and antisocial behavior during adolescence. Analyses also investigated whether the interaction of exposure and low attachment predicted youth outcomes.
