Interactional behavior of mothers and preschool children was studied in light of mothers'' internal models of relationships and select child characteristics. Children with behavior problems who were developmentally intact (n = 20) and developmentally delayed (n = 20), and a matched nonclinic group (n = 24), were studied in a problem-solving session. Mother''s help and support, and children''s approach to tasks, relationship to mother, and overall experiment were scored. Mothers'' internal models of relationships, based on descriptions of childhood relationships, were characterized as detached, preoccupied, or secure (attachment classifications). Results showed children''s behavioral and developmental status, as well as mothers'' internal models, to be asociated with dyadic behavior. Children''s behavior corresponded to mothers'' internal models and to behavioral and developmental status even with the effects of mothers'' behavior removed. Discriminant analysis correctly classified 93% of the sample into clinic and nonclinic groups and into the 3 attachment classifications.
