The aim of this study is to examine the reflection of attachment and sensitivity behaviors on children aged 3-5 with intergenerational transmission. The research has a mixed pattern. The study included 2 grandmothers and two daughters, one of whom had secondary attachment, with children between the ages of 3-5. Thus, a total of 10 people from 3 generations participated in the study. Attachment status was determined using the Experiences in Close Relationship Inventory-II scale. The sensitivity behaviors of the mothers were examined in a semi-structured environment with the help of play dough, within the interaction of children between 3-5 years and their mothers. As a result, it was observed that there was an intergenerational transmission due to the attachment relationship of grandmothers with their older children, but this did not include the grandmothers’ younger daughters with secondary attachment. It is seen that those who have secondary attachment in mothers’ sensitivity behaviors are more positive. The results of the research support the intergenerational transfer and hierarchical attachment style theories.
