The sample consisted of 60 Egyptian mother\u2010child dyads. Maternal behavioral control\u2014conceptualized within the framework of Interpersonal acceptance\u2010rejection theory (IPARTheory)\u2014was measured using the behavioral control scale, while toddlers\u2019 attachment patterns were assessed using Mary Ainsworth's Strange Situation Procedure (SSP). Results revealed significant differences in maternal behavioral control levels in toddlers with secure and insecure attachment patterns. Specifically, higher levels of maternal behavioral control were associated with insecure\u2010resistant attachment patterns, whereas lower levels of behavioral control were associated with secure attachment patterns. No significant difference emerged between maternal behavioral control levels in toddlers with secure and avoidant attachment patterns. The findings speak to the effects of behavioral control on toddlers\u2019 perceptions of danger and, thus, their internal working models of the world and resulting attachment patterns. Study limitations and future directions of research are discussed.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/imhj.70066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,7]],"date-time":"2026-01-07T17:45:21Z","timestamp":1767807921000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Control and connection: Associations between maternal behavioral control and toddler attachment patterns"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Nour M.","family":"Zaki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology American University in Cairo  Cairo Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maya A.","family":"Shehata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology American University in Cairo  Cairo Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10578\u2010011\u20100248\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203758045"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1131780"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0272431691111004"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15295190903290790"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000511518"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2004.02.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","volume-title":"Attachment and loss: Vol. 1.
