The writing in the study also was hard to understand because of overuse of abbreviations that were never defined.
Nowhere in the study are my own studies on attachment cited, which shows a distinct lack of scholarship.
We also cannot determine whether these results would generalize to people later in their lives, such as when they are in their old age.
Curiously, the article never really defines what the different attachment styles are, so it is more difficult than it should be to interpret the results.
A number of effects are significant at the 0.001 level, but what we do not know from the data analysis is whether these effects were also significant at the standard 0.05 level of significance.
In the Results section, a power analysis has been done, but what really needs to be done is an analysis to understand whether the sample sizes were large enough to detect whether there were effects
