Direct linkBakermans-Kranenburg, Marian J. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
From the beginning, theories of attachment and caregiving have given rise to questions about minimum and maximum numbers of attachment figures. The child's tendency to direct attachment behavior to a specific figure rather than to whoever is nearby has led to the idea of monotropy, suggesting that a child would thrive best with one special…

Dagan, Or; Sagi-Schwartz, Abraham – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Early attachment has been commonly hypothesized to predict children's future developmental outcomes, and robust evidence relying on assessments of single caregiver-child attachment patterns has corroborated this hypothesis. Nevertheless, most often children are raised by multiple caregivers, and they tend to form attachment bonds with more than…

Forslund, Tommie; Hammarlund, Mårten; Granqvist, Pehr – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Attachment theory, research, and assessments have become increasingly applied to settle child custody cases. We discuss such applications in relation to admissibility criteria for scientific evidence and testimony proposed by Faigman et al. (2014). We argue that attachment theory and research can provide valid "framework evidence";…

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…

Steele, Miriam; Steele, Howard – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
This comment on the Special Issue contributions regarding the attachment network addresses the clinical implications of the findings from three perspectives: (1) the need to look beyond maternal influences on child developmental outcomes; (2) to be open to every seemingly peripheral influence on the child as this may have a central impact on the…

Thompson, Ross A. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Attachment theorists have long recognized that multiple attachments characterize the typical experience of most children. But an appreciation of attachment networks is new, and this commentary draws on some of the most theoretically provocative themes of the contributions to this special issue. These include: how the quality of attachment…

Deneault, Audrey-Ann; Bakermans-Kranenburg, Marian J.; Groh, Ashley M.; Fearon, Pasco R. M.; Madigan, Sheri – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
This meta-analytic study examined the associations between child-father attachment in early childhood and children's externalizing and internalizing behavior problems. Based on 15 samples (N = 1,304 dyads), the association between child-father attachment insecurity and externalizing behaviors was significant and moderate in magnitude (r = 0.18,…

Karaskiewicz, Chloe L.; Witczak, Lynea R.; Lau, Allison R.; Dufek, Madison E.; Bales, Karen L. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Relationships support social animals' health, but maintaining relationships is challenging. When transitioning to parenthood, new parents balance pair-bond maintenance with infant care. We studied pair-bond maintenance via affiliation in 22 adult titi monkey pairs ("Plecturocebus cupreus") for 16 months centered around their first…

Liang, Xi; Lin, Yige; Van IJzendoorn, Marinus H.; Wang, Zhengyan – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Grandmothers are important in Chinese families. This study explored the early emerging mother-grandmother-infant network and its association with child's socioemotional development in multigenerational families in a non-WEIRD country. The analytic sample included 60 children (T1: M[subscript age] = 6.5 months) and their caregivers residing in…

Bertok, Eva; Meško, Gorazd; Schuster, Isabell; Tomaszewska, Paulina – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Although teen dating violence (TDV) is internationally recognized as a serious threat to adolescents' health and well-being, almost no data is available for Slovenian youth. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and predictors of TDV among Slovenian adolescents for the first time. Using data from the SPMAD study (Study of…

Baier, Dirk; Krieg, Yvonne; Hong, Jun Sung; Kliem, Sören – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Teen dating violence (TDV) and school violence (SV) are two major social problems in adolescence. Until recently, the antecedents of both TDV and SV have been analyzed largely independently of each other. This study analyses and compares the determinants of both TDV and SV, with a focus on physical violence. Based on a comprehensive survey of…

Toplu-Demirtas, Ezgi; Araci-Iyiaydin, Aysegül – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Compared to Western literature, little is known about teen dating violence perpetration (DVP) in Turkey. One risk factor of physical teen DVP may lie within teens' witnessing interparental physical violence perpetration and subsequent accepting attitudes toward physical partner violence as a risk factor. Informed by the intergenerational…

Eisner, Manuel – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Dating violence is a serious manifestation of harmful behaviour during adolescence. During the past decades, considerable research has shed light on patterns, causes, and consequences of dating violence. One of the most notable findings emerging from widely used survey instruments is that female adolescents report perpetrating physical dating…

Bianchi, Dora; Morelli, Mara; Baiocco, Roberto; Cattelino, Elena; Chirumbolo, Antonio – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
According to the triangular love theory, this study investigated the roles of three components of love (i.e., passion, intimacy, commitment) and the moderating role of conflicts in predicting different forms of sexting (i.e., experimental, nonconsensual, under pressure) in teen dating relationships. Participants were 409 adolescents (M[subscript…
