• MIDDLE CHILDHOOD
• ATTACHMENT
• SECURITY

This commentary cites evidence to argue that girls growing up in a competitive and aggressive environment are more likely to shift to avoidant attachment than to ambivalent attachment in middle childhood. These avoidant women are also more likely to favor a short-term mating strategy. The role of oxytocin (OT) and early experience in shaping all avoidant attachment in females is also discussed.
