The data for 197 mother - infant pairs from two longitudinal studies were analyzed to assess relations between maternal attachement representations ; atypical maternal behaviour, coded with a new tool, atypical maternal behaviour instrument for assessment and classification (AMBIANCE), and infant attachment. Both maternal and infant attachment were systematically related to atypical maternal behaviour : mothers who were Unresolved on the Adult Attachment Interview and those whose infants were disorganized in the Strange Situation Procedure engaged in more atypical behaviors than those who were not Unresolved and whose infants showed organized patterns of attachment, respectively. Regression analyses indicated that when tested as a mediator, atypical maternal behaviour as measured on the AMBIANCE did not reduce the association between maternal Unresolved status and infant disorganized attachment. This may, in part, reflect the fact that our low - risk sample did not include enough cases in the risk categories. These data provide preliminary empirical validation for the AMBIANCE and strengthen the evidence for links between atypical maternal behaviour and disorganized attachment but indicate that in addition to maternal attachment representations, other factors must contribute to atypical maternal behaviour.
