Parental Attachment Style Profiles and Associated Parenting Behaviors

Four distinct parental attachment profiles were identified using Latent Profile Analysis on anxiety and avoidance dimensions. The study, authored by Yali Wang and last updated in May 2026, found significant associations between these profiles and parental acceptance or rejection behaviors. No sex differences were observed in profile distribution or parenting patterns.
