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[subscript age]: 19.84 months; 51% female; 87% White)…

Cory R. Platts; Melissa L. Sturge-Apple; Patrick T. Davies – Developmental Psychology, 2024
This study examined parental romantic attachment security as a mediator of prospective associations between hostile interparental conflict and parental discipline (i.e., power-assertive, permissive, and inductive discipline) for mothers and fathers of young children. Furthermore, this study utilized a novel, automatic assessment of romantic…

Deneault, Audrey-Ann; Hammond, Stuart I.; Madigan, Sheri – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Although numerous individual studies have attempted to link child-parent attachment and prosociality, a systematic picture of that relationship requires a meta-analytic approach that considers different dimensions of prosociality and potential moderators. The current meta-analysis examined 41 studies drawn primarily from North America and Europe…

M. Pasco; Oosterman, Mirjam; Aviezer, Ora; Cummings, E Mark – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 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…

Deneault, Audrey-Ann; Bureau, Jean-François; Yurkowski, Kim – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Past meta-analyses show that both child-mother and child-father attachment insecurity are independently and jointly associated with more externalizing behaviors in children. Little is known, however, on the ways that different types of insecure attachment independently and jointly predict the development of externalizing behaviors over time.…

In this study, 290 first-year post-secondary students completed attachment, academic burnout, and academic…
