From 69 samples (N = 5,947), the association between insecurity and externalizing problems was significant, d = 0.31 (95\% CI: 0.23, 0.40). Larger effects were found for boys (d = 0.35), clinical samples (d = 0.49), and from observation-based outcome assessments (d = 0.58). Larger effects were found for attachment assessments other than the Strange Situation. Overall, disorganized children appeared at elevated risk (d = 0.34, 95\% CI: 0.18, 0.50), with weaker effects for avoidance (d = 0.12, 95\% CI: 0.03, 0.21) and resistance (d = 0.11, 95\% CI: -0.04, 0.26). The results are discussed in terms of the potential significance of attachment for mental health.}, keywords = {*Internal-External Control, *Mother-Child Relations, *Object Attachment, Adaptation, Psychological, Aggression/psychology, Anxiety, Separation/diagnosis/psychology, Child, Child Behavior Disorders/*diagnosis/*psychology, Child, Preschool, Female, Humans, Infant, Male, Personality Assessment, Reactive Attachment Disorder/*diagnosis/*psychology, Risk Factors, Sex Factors}, isbn = {1467-8624 (Electronic)
