“…The first aim of this study was to assess levels of attachment as well as gender differences and preferred attachment figure among Polish adolescents using the IPPA-R. In line with previous studies, the IPPA-R appeared to be a reliable tool, with high levels of internal consistency for the total and dimension scores (Farnicka & Grzegorzewska, 2015;Li et al, 2014;Pace, San Martini, & Zavattini, 2011). No significant difference was found for gender for maternal or paternal total attachment and dimension scores.…”

“…The current study also compared Polish adolescents' attachment scores with two other countries where the meaning of family and family bonding are partly similar and partly different: China (collectivistic), Italy (individualistic). Parent-adolescent relationships have been shown to vary across cultural values and family orientation, which may lead to differences in parental attachment (Chen, French, & Schneider, 2006;Li et al, 2014;Song et al, 2009;Trommsdorff, 2006). Few research has been carried out comparing attachment levels in adolescents from different countries.…”

Parental attachment is important for adolescents’ development as well as cultural context. Poland used to be collectivist but now is closer to individualistic due to social and economic transformation. Few studies have examined parental attachment and self-esteem among Polish adolescents. This descriptive study (N = 303 Polish adolescents) investigated the levels of parental attachment, gender differences, preferred attachment figure, association with self-esteem and cultural differences with collectivistic (China) and individualistic (Italy) cultures. The results indicated that: (1) there was no gender difference in parental attachment; (2) mother was the preferred attachment figure; (3) parental attachment was related to self-esteem; and (4) cultural differences were found. Findings were discussed in terms of Polish sociopolitical situation.

“…A number of maternal characteristics were also considered. Maternal racial background was considered, due to cultural differences in performance on the Strange Situation Procedure (SSP; Ainsworth, ) and differences in the conceptualization of a healthy attachment relationship (e.g., Li, Delvecchio, Miconi, Salcuni, & Di Riso, ; van IJzendoorn, & Kroonenberg, ). It was also thought to be important to consider the mother's mental disorder comorbidity status; if a mother was suffering from another disorder in addition to depression, this may more severely impact her mental health and her relationship with her child.…”

The purpose of this study is to clarify the magnitude of the association between maternal depression and infant attachment nonsecurity, and to identify possible moderators of this relationship. An extensive literature search was conducted using multiple databases of both published and unpublished studies. A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between maternal depression and infant attachment security and to establish the effect size. The main findings from this meta-analysis, which included 42 studies, indicate that there is a small, yet significant, relationship between maternal depression and infant attachment nonsecurity. The rate of nonsecurity in infants of mothers with depression was approximately 20% higher than expected rates in a nonclinical population, and the association between depressive symptoms and nonsecurity was small, but significant. Infants of mothers with depression were nearly twice as likely to have a nonsecure attachment than were infants of healthy mothers. Depression measure and maternal sample source were identified as significant moderators of the odds ratio effect size. Results of this study demonstrate that there is a significant relationship between maternal depression and infant attachment nonsecurity, and suggest that interventions that focus on both maternal mental health and the attachment relationship are warranted.

“…For example, J. B. Li, Delvecchio, Miconi, Salcuni, and Di Riso () found that Chinese boys reported more communication with their father than with their mother, which may be because boys may develop their masculinity by communicating more with their fathers. Chinese researchers found the same‐sex dyad pattern in parents' parenting.…”

Based on data from 1,366 Chinese preschoolers aged 31-77 months from 62 preschools, this study compared differences among four parent-child dyads in parent-child relationships and the associations between parent-child relationships and children's social adaptations. According to the results, the same-sex dyad and opposite-sex dyad patterns were tested. The results showed the same-sex dyad and opposite-sex dyad patterns in parent-child closeness. Mother-daughter dyads had more closeness than mother-son dyads; father-daughter dyads had more closeness than father-son dyads. The results were more supportive of the same-sex dyad pattern in the associations between parent-child relationships and social adaptations. Mother-child closeness predicted girls' greater social skills and fewer problem behaviors; father-child conflict predicted boys' worse social skills and greater problem behaviors.
