Parent and Peer Attachment in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence (2005, background): “For example, Simons, Paternite, and Shore (2001) found that attachment to mothers but not with fathers was predictive of adolescent self-esteem, views of others, and aggression.”
Parental Attachment, Self‐Worth, and Depressive Symptoms Among Emerging Adults (2006, result): “Furthermore, the findings suggest, consistent with a growing body of research (e.g., Davila et al., 1996; Kenny et al., 1993; Roberts et al., 1996; Simons et al., 2001), that parental attachments contribute to internal working models of self.”
The Meaning and Measurement of Attachment in Middle and Late Childhood (2005, background): “With samples of fifth- and sixth-graders, researchers have found the composite mother attachment and father attachment scales to be highly internally consistent, with alphas ranging from 0.90 to 0.93 [Coleman, 2003; Simons et al., 2001].”
Do Parenting Behaviors Predict Externalizing Behavior in Adolescence, or Is Attachment the Neglected 3rd Factor? (2006, methodology): “Using mediation analysis, Simons et al. (2001) showed that poor parent attachment predicts low self-esteem and poor social cognition skills, which in turn may lead to aggression in young adolescents.”
