The challenges of stillness: a longitudinal study about the associations between mothers’ violations of the still-face, infant patterns of regulatory behavior, mother-infant interactive behavior, and infant attachment
Possibly, mothers who violate the SF to soothe their infants are more empathic and more likely to be a "safe haven" in stressful situations, contributing to secure relationships. However, mothers who violated SF for other reasons need further investigation and are linked with disorganized/disoriented infant attachment.
