ABSTRACT
Sociability is the tendency to seek the company of others, to be friendly. Some people are more sociable than others but pretty much everyone shows some signs of sociability. Babies love interactions with people, animals and things. Our central interest in this book is the importance that these interactions have in the formation of emotional relationships. An infant who elicits and responds to social interactions is more likely to form such relationships. An unsociable baby will form fewer attachments. The infant’s sociability is determined by both nature and nurture.
