Interesting - what's the confound specifically? Happy attached parents = happy child genetically?

I'm currently perusing a paper by @fsnole1 about this confound: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Todd_Shackelford/publication/303952365_Rethinking_the_Transmission_Gap_What_Behavioral_Genetics_and_Evolutionary_Psychology_Mean_for_Attachment_Theory_A_Comment_on_Verhage_et_al_2016/links/57627c0308ae0c8c25528f13.pdf?origin=publication_detail …

the fact that weak evidence gets cited as best available should be weak bayesian evidence against, right?

@nytimes what about attachment disorders in children with highly chaotic early years, eg multiple Foster placements, violence? -
also factors. To quote Pinker "many scientists miss what all parents of two kids know - kids come out different."
-
yes the old nature nurture. I suppose attachment disorder will manifest in relation to genetic predisposition
-
of course, you are right about nurture. His point is that many scientists shockingly miss that nature exists.
-
interesting I work in social work and attachment theory's very influential, would be helpful to broaden knowledge base
-
for sure. I really liked Pinker's book the blank slate. Of course there are nature and nurture - both important
-
I assumed the Nat/nurt debate was long settled, but this made me realise dominance of nurture theory to practice.

I always thought it so great how attachment explains how humans and dogs can love each other.

don't get in the way of a hasty generalization from a nationally recognized "social science communicator!"
