Molecular-genetic correlates of infant attachment: a cautionary tale.

Attachment & human development - 1 Jan 2013

Roisman Glenn I, Booth-Laforce Cathryn, Belsky Jay, Burt Keith B, Groh Ashley M

Abstract excerpt

This paper advises caution in relation to the increasing interest in molecular-genetic association studies in developmental psychology based on a set of empirical examples from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD) that highlight the fragility of effects reported in the literature on the molecular-genetic correlates of infant attachment. Specifically, this paper updates and provides...
