1-028 - Attachment in the Age of Big Science: Theoretical Progress Through Consortium-Building
Thu, March 21, 9:30 to 11:00am, Baltimore Convention Center, Floor: Level 3, Room 340Session Type: Paper Symposium
Integrative Statement
Following neighbouring areas of genetics and neuroscience, developmental research is now starting to exploit the potential of ‘big data’ consortia, combining data that have been collected in a consistent way over years, such as classifications of parent-child attachment. This approach is now used to address long-standing issues like the gap in our understanding of the transmission of adult attachment to parent-child attachment.
The first three papers leverage the fine granularity of individual participant data in a large consortium for the synthesis of studies on attachment transmission (k = 60 studies; total N = 4,500). Paper 1 shows how large-scale collaboration may provide a framework for theoretical progress through collective decision-making on the critical hypotheses and the analysis plan. In this case, the theoretical issue is the latent structure of adult attachment, including its taxonicity. Paper 2 examines whether finer distinctions made with subcategories and dimensions of attachment representation yield more insight into parental sensitivity. Paper 3 tests moderation of intergenerational transmission by ecological and psychosocial risk. The fourth paper presents a meta-analysis of Strange Situation Procedure studies. It is based on a catalog that supports the scoping and steering of individual participant data syntheses and other meta-analyses.
Presentations will focus not only on substantive findings but also on the way collaborative research is done, to invite discussion with the audience about the potential opportunities and pitfalls for the wider developmental field.
