Abstract

We examined associations between attachment and suggestibility in 9- to 12-year-olds (N = 54) about an attachment-related event after a 6-year delay. With age statistically controlled, higher attachment anxiety uniquely predicted a higher proportion of commission errors to misleading questions (β = .28, p = .037; DR2, p = .008).
