  • Attachment theory and research

    Open AccessSarah L Foster, Gillian Schofield et al.ARTICLESocial Work Education2026

    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

    Open AccessJessica E Opie, Everett Waters et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2026

    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…

  • Configurations of mother–child and father–child attachment relationships as predictors of child language competence

    Open AccessOr Dagan, Carlo Schuengel et al.ARTICLEChild Development2024

    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…

  • Attachment relationship quality with mothers and fathers and child temperament

    Open AccessOr Dagan, The Collaboration on Attachment to Multiple Parents and Outcomes…ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024

    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…

  • Maternal and paternal sensitivity

    Sheri Madigan, Audrey-Ann Deneault et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2024Citada por: 5

    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

    Sheri Madigan, R M Pasco Fearon et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2023

    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, …

  • Measuring Parenting Self-Efficacy from Pregnancy into Early Childhood

    Open AccessMarleen H M De Moor, Marije L Verhage et al.ARTICLEParenting2023Referências: 2

    Objective. Parenting self-efficacy is an important and widely examined construct in parenting research. Yet, studies that thoroughly assess the psychometrics properties of scales that assess parenting self-efficacy are scarce. We examined the longitudinal factor structure and measurement invariance of a self-report measure of parenting self-efficacy. Design. A sample of 1,851 first-time mothers completed the 16-item Self-Efficacy in the Nurturing…

  • Configurations of mother‐child and father‐child attachment as predictors of internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems

    Open AccessOr Dagan, Carlo Schuengel et al.ARTICLENew Directions for Child and…2021

    An unsettled question in attachment theory and research is the extent to which children's attachment patterns with mothers and fathers jointly predict developmental outcomes. In this study, we used individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis to assess whether early attachment networks with mothers and fathers are associated with children's internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems. Following a pre-registered protocol, data from 9 st…

  • Childbirth Experience Associated With Maternal and Paternal Stress During the First Year, but Not Child Attachment

    Open AccessAnnaleena Holopainen, Marije L Verhage et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Women, as well as their partners, can experience childbirth in many different ways. A negative childbirth experience may have adverse effects on the entire family, resulting, for instance, in parental stress symptoms and a weakened parent-child relationship. Parental stress, without sufficient resources to compensate for it, may also in and of itself negatively influence the parent-child relationship. This study contributes to the current knowled…

  • Failing the duck test

    Marije L Verhage, Carlo Schuengel et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2017

    In this reply, we respond to the critique by Barbaro, Boutwell, Barnes, and Shackelford (2017) in regard to our recent meta-analysis of intergenerational transmission of attachment (Verhage et al., 2016). Barbaro et al. (2017) claim that the influence of shared environment on attachment decreases with age, whereas unique environmental and genetic influences increase, which they felt was disregarded in our meta-analysis. Their criticisms, we argue…

  • Narrowing the transmission gap

    Marije L Verhage, Carlo Schuengel et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2016Citada por: 21

    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…

  • Parenting Self-Efficacy is Associated with Cry Perception, Not Autonomic Responses, during a Cry Response Task

    Marije L Verhage, Mirjam Oosterman et al.ARTICLEParenting2013Referências: 8

    SYNOPSIS Objective. To experimentally test whether perceptions of cry stimuli and autonomic nervous system reactivity help to explain parenting self-efficacy (PSE). Design. First-time pregnant women (N = 151) completed a task during which they responded to infant cries. After each cry, they received performance feedback, which was manipulated to simulate an easy-to-soothe (80% success) and a difficult-to-soothe (20% success) infant. After respond…
