Attachment as a Core Feature of Resilience: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Background: Research has pointed to secure attachment as a possible key factor of resilience in adulthood. Objective: We aimed to investigate the role of secure attachment as a potential core feature in the properties of resilience. Methods: We conducted a systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines followed by a meta-analysis. Results: Thirty-three studies were included in the review, and 10 of these, including 2305 subjects, were used for meta-analysis. The raw correlation coefficients ranged from .20 to .57, which indicated weak to moderate correlations between resilience and attachment. The synthesized correlation coefficients indicated that the correlations were significant and highly unlikely to be due to random variation. All studies are also reported on qualitatively. Conclusions: In both of our meta-analyses and in the narratively reported studies, we found that secure attachment is associated with the presence of resilience.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
