Here, I present four studies that focus on measurement of externalizing symptoms, dissociative identity disorder (DID), personality, and dementia. I don’t often address measurement, but it’s obviously critical to those who test individuals. Rivers, Winston-Lindeboom, Ruan-Iu, Atte, Tien & Diamond (2022) published “Validation of a Parent Report on Externalizing Symptoms Scale: A downward extension of the behavioral health screen” in School Psychology. Here’s an edited version of the impact statement and abstract.

I am going to present four longitudinal studies of attachment with research addressing parental experience before becoming parents, attachment history and friendships, parent-adolescent relationships and successful peer and romantic relationships, and insecure attachment and personality pathology. Each study is nuanced and complex but well worth examining.
