Overview

Latent profiles of attachment styles reveal diverse parenting behaviors in school-aged children, indicating crucial links to caregiving practices.

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify attachment style profiles among parents and their correlation with parenting behaviors.
  • Used Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) to identify attachment profiles in parents of school-aged children.
  • Examined dimensions of attachment anxiety and avoidance to reveal distinct profiles.
  • Analyzed associations between identified profiles and parenting behaviors.
  • Four distinct parental profiles: low anxiety/avoidance, high anxiety/moderate avoidance, moderate anxiety/avoidance, and high anxiety/avoidance.
  • Low anxiety/avoidance parents showed greater acceptance in their parenting behaviors compared to other profiles.
  • High anxiety parents demonstrated significantly more rejecting behaviors than low anxiety parents.
