Popis:	The present research explored the role of synchrony as a mediator of the relationship between marital satisfaction and infant attachment, and between depressive symptoms and infant attachment. Fifteen father–infant and mother–infant dyads were videotaped in face-to-face interactions. Videotaped interactions were coded for frequency of synchronized interactions. Quality of attachment was assessed several months later using the Waters’ Attachment Q-sort (AQS). Tests of mediation revealed that synchrony accounts for the relation between marital quality and infant attachment to fathers, and between depressive symptoms and level of attachment to mothers. Finally, demographic variables associated with work and family role strain were explored as potential correlates of marital dissatisfaction and depressive symptoms.
