The controversy over the relationship between childhood temperaments and maternal attachments is still a subject of debate among temperament and attachment theorists to this day (De Wolff & Ijzendoorn, 1997). Temperament is defined as early projections of stable individual variations involving self-regulation and reactivity encompassing behaviors, emotions, and attention (Boom, 1994). Attachment, on the other hand, is commonly known as having a bond that allows us to feel comfortable with the special people in our lives (Berk, 2006). According to Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess (1977), their research demonstrated that child temperament is intrinsic in nature and how the developmental process of child-adult interactions ultimately influences their attachment status (Coffman, Levitt, & Guacci-Franco, 1995 ). Furthermore, attachment theorists such as Mary Ainsworth (1978) and John Bowlby (1969), however, have suggested that maternal sensitivity and caregiver responsiveness mask the infant's temperament which is the determinant of attachment (Coffman et al. , 1995). In this essay, considering the above, we will explore whether the antecedents of attachment are based on the goodness of adaptation which consists of the child's innate temperament and the maternal perception caused by the parenting style, or whether they are based mainly on the maternal sensitivity to the child's and, finally, the association between child temperament and maternal sensitivity and responsiveness. Indications have shown that child temperament has significance in influencing maternal perception which is influenced by maternal characteristics, thus leading to attachment outcome (Pauli-Pott, Mertesacker, Bade, Haverkock, Beckmann, 2003). Across the middle of the article, future research can involve equal numbers of mothers from different social backgrounds to compare. In looking for the association between infant temperament and maternal sensitivity than what were thought to be independent factors, a closer relationship can be observed between them through the above discussion. In conclusion, associations within infant temperament and maternal sensitivity have the most significance in the development of attachment compared to the consideration that maternal and infant characteristics are independent factors and the contribution in attachment coming primarily from the mother. Therefore, instead of the endless debate on the independence of the antecedents of attachment, the focus should be on the recognition between the correlation between infant temperament and attachment..
