- Configurations of mother–child and father–child attachment relationships as predictors of child language competence: An individual participant data meta‐analysisPublication . Dagan, Or; Schuengel, Carlo; Verhage, Marije L.; Madigan, Sheri; Roisman, Glenn I.; Bernard, Kristin; Duschinsky, Robbie; Bakermans‐Kranenburg, Marian; Bureau, Jean‐François; Sagi‐Schwartz, Abraham; Eiden, Rina D.; Wong, Maria S.; Brown, Geoffrey; Soares, Isabel; Oosterman, Mirjam; Fearon, R. M. Pasco; Steele, Howard; Martins, Carla; Aviezer, OraAn individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted to test pre-registered hypotheses about how the configuration of attachment relationships to mothers and fathers predicts children's language competence. Data from seven studies (published between 1985 and 2014) including 719 children (Mage: 19.84months; 51% female; 87% White) were included in the linear mixed effects analyses. Mean language competence scores exceeded the population average across children with different attachment configurations. Children with two secure attachment relationships had higher language competence scores compared to those with one or no secure attachment relationships (d=.26). Children with two organized attachment relationships had higher language competence scores compared to those with one organized attachment relationship (d=.23), and this difference was observed in older versus younger children in exploratory analyses. Mother– child and father–child attachment quality did not differentially predict language competence, supporting the comparable importance of attachment to both parents in predicting developmental outcomes.
- The latent structure of secure base script knowledgePublication . Waters, Theodore E. A.; Fraley, R. Chris; Groh, Ashley M.; Steele, Ryan D.; Vaughn, Brian E.; Bost, Kelly K.; Veríssimo, Manuela; Coppola, Gabrielle; Roisman, Glenn I.There is increasing evidence that attachment representations abstracted from childhood experiences with primary caregivers are organized as a cognitive script describing secure base use and support (i.e., the secure base script). To date, however, the latent structure of secure base script knowledge has gone unexamined— this despite that such basic information about the factor structure and distributional properties of these individual differences has important conceptual implications for our understanding of how representations of early experience are organized and generalized, as well as methodological significance in relation to maximizing statistical power and precision. In this study, we report factor and taxometric analyses that examined the latent structure of secure base script knowledge in 2 large samples. Results suggested that variation in secure base script knowledge—as measured by both the adolescent (N 674) and adult (N 714) versions of the Attachment Script Assessment—is generalized across relationships and continuously distributed.
