Kindness and other prosocial qualities are probably formed very early in our development due to prenatal and postnatal psychosocial environment?

01 January 1970 0 9K Report

Each produces a particular attachment subtype: very secure, secure, insecure ambivalent, insecure avoidant, disorganized and rage-aggressive.
