Bost, Kelly K. Wiley, Angela R. Parsons, Alyssa C 2017-03-01T17:02:04Z 2017-03-01T17:02:04Z 2019-03-02T10:15:33Z 2016-12-06 2016-12 This prospective longitudinal study of preschool-aged children (n = 71) and their primary caregivers examined the associations between caregiver weight status, child weight status, and attachment security. I hypothesized that, consistent with previous research, I would find a positive relationship between caregiver and child weight; moreover, I predicted that greater child attachment security would attenuate the link between caregiver and child weight. Findings indicated that although attachment security was not buffering the caregiver-child weight link as hypothesized, it did have a negative, albeit weak, direct effect on child weight. Rather than functioning as a deterrent to this line of work, the mixed support for my hypotheses served as a springboard for thinking about future research. Limitations and a future prospective longitudinal project are discussed.
