- The present study investigated concordance between representations of attachment to mother and attachment to father, and convergence between two narrative-based methods addressing these representations in middle childhood: the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task (MCAST) and the Secure Base Script Test (SBST). One hundred and twenty 6-year-old children were assessed by separate administrations of the MCAST for mother and father, respectively, and results showed concordance of representations of attachment to mother and attachment to father at age 6.5 years. 75 children were additionally tested about 12 months later, with the SBST, which assesses scripted knowledge of secure base (and safe haven), not differentiating between mother and father attachment relationships. Concerning attachment to father, dichotomous classifications (MCAST) and a continuous dimension capturing scripted secure base knowledge (MCAST) converged with secure base scriptedness (SBST), yet we could not show the same pattern of convergence concerning attachment to mother. Results suggest some convergence between the two narrative methods of assessment of secure base script but also highlight complications when using the MCAST for measuring attachment to father in middle childhood.

- Objectives: Based on the integration of attachment and physical self-perception perspectives, the present study examined links between adolescents' engagement in physical activity and their attachment relationships with mothers, fathers, and friends, respectively, and assessed the potential mediation role of physical self-perception in this link. Design and methods: Using a cross-sectional design, questionnaire data was obtained from 767 adolescents (49% boys, Mage = 12.92, SD = .86) and structural equation modeling was used to examine relationships among variables. Results: Attachment security with parents and friend was associated with higher levels of physical activity. There was partial support of the mediation role of physical self-perception, as adolescents who were securely attached to mother and friend perceived themselves as having better physical condition, which in turn predicted greater engagement in physical activity. The mediation role of physical self-perception between mother attachment and PA was stronger for female adolescents. Secure attachment to father had a direct positive effect on physical activity. The direct effect was strongest for male adolescents. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the importance of relationship-based intervention strategies to enhance and maintain healthy regular physical activity among adolescents.

- OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between two commonly used verbal memory tests in presurgical evaluation for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in Sweden, the Claeson-Dahl Test for verbal learning and retention (CDT) and the Swedish version of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT).METHODS: Fifty-nine patients with TLE (male: 41%, mean: age 41.7 ± 12.3 years; epilepsy onset at mean age: 18.3 ± 13.1 years) previously tested with the CDT, the RAVLT, and three nonverbal memory tests on the same occasion were included. We performed (1) a principal component analysis (PCA) on test performances in the CDT and the RAVLT as well as in nonverbal memory tests; (2) a Pearson's correlation analysis for memory components, biological age, education, age at epilepsy onset, and self-rating scores for depression and anxiety; and (3) an estimation of clinically significant verbal memory impairment in patients with left TLE and left-sided hippocampal sclerosis.RESULTS: The PCAs showed coherence between the learning variables of the CDT and the RAVLT and divergence between the recall variables of the two tests. The RAVLT delayed recall variable was correlated to four out of five nonverbal memory measures. Both tests showed 70-80% clinically significant impairment of verbal memory in patients with left TLE, with or without hippocampal sclerosis, similar to other cohorts with resistant TLE.CONCLUSIONS: The construct structure of the two verbal memory differs. It was shown that the RAVLT correlated with visuospatial memory, whereas the CDT did not. The study highlights that there are important nonoverlapping features regarding verbal recall of the two tests, indicating that these tests cannot fully replace one another.
