Resumo(s)
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.
