The present study tested whether mothers' knowledge about the secure-base phenomenon, as assessed using a recently designed wordlist prompt measure for eliciting attachment-relevant stories, would predict their children's securebase behavior, as assessed by observers in the home and summarized with the Attachment Q-set (AQS). In each of three sociocultural groups (from Colombia, Portugal, and the US), scores characterizing the quality of maternal secure-base narratives elicited using the word-list prompt procedure were internally consistent, as indicated by tests of cross-story reliability, and they were positively and significantly associated with the child's security score from the AQS for each subsample. The correlation in the combined sample was r(129) = .33, p &lt; .001. Subsequent analyses with the combined sample evaluated the AQS item-correlates of the secure-base script score.These analyses showed that mothers whose stories indicate that they have access to and use a positive secure-base script in their story production have children who treat them as a \u201csecure base\u201d at home. These results suggest that a core feature of adult attachment models, in each of the three sociocultural groups studied, is access to a secure-base script. Additional results from the study indicate that cross-language translations of the maternal narratives can receive valid, reliable scores even when evaluated by non-native speakers. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165025407073574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,25]],"date-time":"2007-01-25T11:38:22Z","timestamp":1169725102000},"page":"65-76","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["The quality of maternal secure-base scripts predicts children's                 secure-base behavior at home in three sociocultural groups"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Brian E.","family":"Vaughn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gabrielle","family":"Coppola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, USA"}]},{"given":"Manuela","family":"Verissimo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ligia","family":"Monteiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Antonio Jos\u00e9","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada, Portugal"}]},{"given":"German","family":"Posada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Purdue University, USA"}]},{"given":"Olga A.","family":"Carbonell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sandra J.","family":"Plata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Javeriana, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia"}]},{"given":"Harriet S.","family":"Waters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA"}]},{"given":"Kelly K.","family":"Bost","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Brent","family":"McBride","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nana","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, USA"}]},{"given":"Bryan","family":"Korth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auburn University, USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Infancy in Uganda: Infant care and the growth of love","author":"Ainsworth, M.D.S.","year":"1967"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"99","volume-title":"The integration of a child into a social world","author":"Ainsworth, M.D.S.","year":"1974"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Patterns of attachment: A psychological study of the Strange Situation","author":"Ainsworth, M.D.S.","year":"1978"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.46.4.333"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0012-1649.41.1.42"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Attachment and loss:Vol. 2.
