Attachment as an Organizational Construct
Abstract
Assumptions concerning the nature of constructs underlying developmental research are often only implicit, yet they guide data collection and inter-pretation of results. For example, a number of researchers have provided data concerning int-correlations among behaviors presumed to be in-dices of attachment (e.g., Coates, Anderson & Hartup 1972; Maccoby & Feldman 1972). Noting that such "index " behaviors do not intercorrelate highly, do not show temporal stability, and are strongly influenced by context, critics have on-cluded that the attachment construct itself is want-ing, that concepts such as attachment relationship and affective bond are superfluous, and that varying patterns of attachment behavior among infants are

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.
