Overrated: The predictive power of attachment (2016)


“The fact is that there’s no strong evidence for parent–child attachment in infancy predicting anything much about children’s later development. Indeed, Booth-LaForce and Roisman’s definitive 2014 study showed that early attachment doesn’t even predict attachment later in development, let alone all of these other things.”

Nice, concise, critical analysis of attachment claims, by Elizabeth Meins (2016).
