Exploring the Practice Elements of Attachment-Based Interventions: A Distillation-and-Matching Review
Deciding on the order of attachment-based intervention, trauma therapy for parents, and trauma therapy for young children (0–6 years old) in families exposed to intimate partner violence: Guidance dev…
IPV exposed families with young children (0–6 years) often deal with multiple complex and interrelated problems, including parents’ Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, children’s PTSD symptoms, and problems in parenting behavior. Current integrative treatment approaches that focus on all these problems within families are lacking. The current study describes the development of a guidance document for therapists, to aid them in tailori…
Scoping review of research on evidence-based digital media interventions for youth
Digital media shape young people’s education, relationships, and leisure, bringing opportunities (e.g., learning, creativity, social connection) and risks (e.g., cyberbullying, misinformation, commercial exploitation). This scoping review mapped digital media interventions for young people and/or their caregivers that have been empirically evaluated and described what has been tested, for whom, where, and using which methods. We identified 120 pe…
Trauma-Specific Interventions for Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities: A Meta-Analysis of Single-Case Experiments
Individuals with intellectual disabilities are at increased risk of trauma exposure, yet trauma-related symptoms are often undertreated. Single-case experiments have been used to evaluate trauma-specific interventions for this population. This study aimed to estimate overall treatment effects and examine variability in effects across participants and studies. We conducted a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis. We searched eight databas…
Attachment theory and research: What should be on the core curriculum for child and family social workers
Attachment theory is one of the core theories proposed for child and family social work, but concerns have been raised regarding misunderstandings and misapplications. Misinformation about attachment is widespread, and texts and teaching on attachment theory often emphasise aspects of the theory that have limited value for applied practice while other elements with greater practice value are often overlooked. As an international group of social w…
Practitioner Review: Clinical insights from attachment theory and research for professionals working with young children and their families
Attachment theory, with its core concepts, perspectives, and insights developed over the past five decades, is influential for professionals working with young children. However, practitioners face challenges translating attachment theory and research into practical applications. This manifests in attachment myths, theoretical misinterpretations, and inconsistency of application. This state‐of‐the‐art review is authored by 47 attachment researche…
A Bibliometric Analysis of Publication Trends of Empirical Studies Over the Past 50 years Using the Child Attachment Studies Catalog and Data Exchange (Cascade)
This study describes the historical trends and gaps of attachment research through a bibliometric analysis of past research on observational measures of child-parent attachment. Given the substantial amount of research that has been amassed on child-parent attachment since the publication of Bowlby and Ainsworth’s seminal work in the 1970s, this study provides an important synthesis of the state of child attachment research. This analysis leverag…
Longitudinal Maternal Stress, Social Support, and Their Associations with Parental Burnout During the Pandemic
Linking family violence and children's trauma symptoms through attachment and emotional insecurity
Dynamic testing of learning potential of children with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities: A Delphi study
Education of children with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities requires adequate assessment of their educational needs and potential to learn. Dynamic testing using analogical reasoning tasks may be a promising way to perform such an assessment. However, it remains unclear how dynamic testing with these children may be done in practice. Therefore, we sought expert opinions on operationalizing learning potential and dynamic testing. We pe…
Configurations of mother–child and father–child attachment relationships as predictors of child language competence: An individual participant data meta-analysis
An 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 (M age: 19.84 months; 51% female; 87% White) were included in the linear mixed effects analyses. Mean language competence scores exceeded the population ave…
Infant Exploratory Behaviors During the Strange Situation Procedure: Links With Attachment Quality and Temperament
The secure base phenomenon was ascribed to changes in exploration observed during Ainsworth’s Strange Situation Procedure (SSP), related to the quality of the attachment relationship. However, infant temperament was not taken into consideration. The current study aims to replicate Ainsworth’s findings regarding infant exploration and attachment quality during the SSP and extend the findings by examining the role of infant temperament. One hundred…
Early Parenting Precursors of Child Developmental Outcomes: What Counts Beyond Parental Sensitivity
Objective. Parental sensitivity is a precursor of child developmental outcomes, but other parental behaviors such as warmth, stimulation of cognitive development, intrusiveness, and hostility are also associated with those outcomes. The aim of the current study was to untangle unique linkages among parental sensitivity, other parental behaviors, and outcome domains deemed relevant for child welfare in an ethnically homogenous sample. Design. Data…
Testing reliability and validity of practitioner‐rated parental sensitivity: A novel tool for practice
Improving parental sensitivity is an important objective of interventions to support families. This study examined reliability and validity of parental sensitivity ratings using a novel package of an e‐learning tool and an interactive decision tree provided through a mobile application, called the OK! package. Independent raters assessed parental sensitivity using the OK! package ( N = 11 raters) and the NICHD Parental Sensitivity rating scales (…
Attachment relationship quality with mothers and fathers and child temperament: An individual participant data meta-analysis
0.19), suggesting that temperament plays a small yet significant role in child-mother/child-father insecure-resistant attachment relationships concordance. Taken together, results from this study prompt a more in-depth examination of the mechanism underlying the small yet significantly higher chance that children with increased negative emotionality have for developing multiple insecure-resistant attachment relationships. (PsycInfo Database Recor…
Mode of birth and DNA methylation at birth, in childhood, and in adolescence: Uncovering the relationship using ALSPAC data
Mode of birth has been linked to offspring health. Changes in DNA methylation (DNAm) may represent a potential mechanism; however, findings are heterogeneous and limited to early infancy. This preregistered study examined whether mode of birth (vaginal birth compared with elective or emergency cesarean section) affects DNAm at birth, in childhood, and adolescence and whether these effects are modified by the postnatal care environment, specifical…
Maternal and paternal sensitivity: Key determinants of child attachment security examined through meta-analysis
19 [-.27, -.11]). For maternal sensitivity, associations were larger in studies that used the Attachment Q-Sort (vs. the Strange Situation), used the Maternal Behavior Q-Sort (vs. Ainsworth or Emotional Availability Scales), had strong (vs. poor) interrater measurement reliability, had a longer observation of sensitivity, and had less time elapse between assessments. For paternal sensitivity, associations were larger in older (vs. younger) father…

The first 20,000 strange situation procedures: A meta-analytic review
The Strange Situation Procedure (SSP) was developed five decades ago to assess infant–parent attachment relationships. Although the procedure itself has remained relatively constant in over 285 studies (20,720 dyads) conducted to date, there have been vast sociological changes during this time, and research foci shifts to studying diverse populations. Since its inception, the SSP has also been adopted in over 20 countries. In this meta-analysis, …
Trauma and loss in the Adult Attachment Interview: Situating the unresolved state of mind classification in disciplinary and social context
This article examines how 'trauma' has been conceptualised in the unresolved state of mind classification in the Adult Attachment Interview, introduced by Main and Hesse in 1990. The unresolved state of mind construct has been influential for three decades of research in developmental psychology. However, not much is known about how this measure of unresolved trauma was developed, and how it relates to other conceptualisations of trauma. We draw …
Adapting Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch‐up for infants and young children with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays in South Africa: Reflections and recommendations from local stakeh…
Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch‐up (ABC) is an intervention targeted at enhancing the socioemotional and regulatory functioning of at‐risk infants. However, to use the ABC for infants/toddlers with intellectual disabilities/developmental delays (ID/DD) and in novel cultural contexts, such as South Africa, adaptations may be required. This study aimed, therefore, to explore the opinions of clinical experts and perceptions of caregivers regardin…
Learning to love the null
Children’s behaviour and mental health has the power to surprise us, readers and authors of the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and laymen alike, if not for the endless variation among people, then for the ever‐changing context in which they develop. The hypothetico‐deductive method in combination with null‐hypothesis significance testing has turned surprise into scientific knowledge. Null effects may in themselves also be surprising a…
Comparison of Social Validity Ratings With the Effects of a Video-Feedback Intervention for Communication Partners of Individuals With Deafblindness
The parents, teachers, and professional caregivers of individuals with disabilities may benefit from interventions to enhance their educational skills. In previous studies, positive effects were observed of a video-feedback intervention for caregivers (i.e. parents, teachers, and professional caregivers) on their communication with an individual with congenital deafblindness. The intervention they received, was the High-Quality Communication (HQC…

Bullying and Victimization Among School‐age Children: Stability and Links to Proactive and Reactive Aggression
The main aim of the study relates to the links between bullying and victimization on the one hand and reactive and proactive aggression on the other. In addition, we also investigated stability and incidence of bullying and victimization. At age 7, 236 children were rated on bullying and victimization using peer reports. At age 8, 242 children were rated again. Two hundred and fifteen children (114 girls and 101 boys) were present at both time po…
Narrowing the transmission gap: A synthesis of three decades of research on intergenerational transmission of attachment
Twenty years ago, meta-analytic results (k = 19) confirmed the association between caregiver attachment representations and child-caregiver attachment (Van IJzendoorn, 1995). A test of caregiver sensitivity as the mechanism behind this intergenerational transmission showed an intriguing "transmission gap." Since then, the intergenerational transmission of attachment and the transmission gap have been studied extensively, and now extend to diverse…
Links between social information processing in middle childhood and involvement in bullying
The aim of this study was to investigate the way in which bullies, victims, bully/victims, and those not involved process social information. A peer nomination measure of bullying and victimization was administered twice over an interval of one year. The sample consisted of 236 (126 girls and 110 boys) children at the beginning of the study (T1) and 242 children one year later (T2) (mean age: 8 years). To test how children responded when provoked…

Predictors of Antisocial and Prosocial Behavior in an Adolescent Sports Context
This study examined antisocial and prosocial behavior of N = 439 adolescent athletes between 14 and 17 years of age (67 teams). Multi‐level analyses showed that team membership explained 20 and 13 percent of the variance in antisocial and prosocial behavior in the sports context, respectively. The team effects suggest that aggregating antisocial or prosocial adolescents within teams may partially explain differences in antisocial and prosocial be…
Attachment in foster children associated with caregivers' sensitivity and behavioral problems
This study focused on attachment of foster children by examining factors associated with attachment relationships of children raised from birth by the same parents. The sample included 61 children between 26 to 88 months of age and their foster caregivers. Attachment security and caregiver sensitivity were coded on the basis of, respectively, a home‐observation (Attachment Q‐Set) and a laboratory procedure (Three boxes). Other measures included c…

One hundred and twenty IPV-exposed children (53.3 % male, M age = 9.85) and parents who were referred to community mental health centers participated in the study. Combined, IPV, child abuse…
Observed Interactions Indicate Protective Effects of Relationships With Parents for Referred Adolescents: Observed Interactions Indicate Protective Effects
This study examined whether the quality of parent–adolescent interactions moderate the association between stressful life events and internalizing and externalizing problems in referred adolescents (N=101, M age 13.41 years, SD=1.81). Adolescents and their parents reported on psychological problems at the time of referral and 4 years later. At follow-up parents reported on stressful life events and an interaction task was conducted to observe aut…
Does having a similar disability matter for match outcomes: A randomized study of matching mentors and mentees by visual impairment
Mentoring is modestly effective for youth with a chronic illness or physical disability; however, program effectiveness may be enhanced when mentors and mentees are matched on shared interests and experiences. To test this hypothesis, mentees were randomly assigned to having a mentor with or without visual impairment (VI). Results showed that mentors without VI were younger and more likely to work or be educated in a helping profession and less l…

Risk factors as moderators of recovery during and after interventions for children exposed to interparental violence
High family risk was tested as an impediment to recovery in children exposed to interparental violence (IPV) participating in community-based intervention. Characteristics of IPV were also explored as moderators for the effect of an IPV-focused intervention over a common factors intervention. Baseline, posttest and follow-up measurements of 155 parents and children (aged 6 to 12 years; 55.5% boys) were fitted in a multilevel model. Outcomes were …
Intersubjectivity Effects of the High-Quality Communication Intervention in People With Deafblindness
Lack of symbolic communication in people with congenital deafblindness may be due to delayed “intersubjectivity,” which stands for the awareness of self and other. Bråten and Trevarthen (2007) proposed that 3 layers of intersubjective development can be distinguished. To test whether progression through these layers can be accelerated by stimulating intersubjectivity mediating partner strategies using the High Quality Communication (HQC) interven…
