Waters, Harriet Salatas; Rodrigues, Lisa M.; Ridgeway, Doreen
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v71 n3 p211-34 Dec 1998
Extrapolated data from a 1990 study of 54-month-old children to examine attachment representations. Subjects' story completions were scored for idea units and scriptedness, revealing advanced validity compared to those of younger subjects. Concluded that analysis of cognitive variables may be used to understand attachment representations and their relations to organization and content of attachment-related narratives. (LBT)
