Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the attachment insecurity screening inventory 2-5 years: a preliminary study.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSecure attachment bonds between children and their parents are crucial for their positive developmental outcomes. In attachment-based treatment, there are few instruments available for identifying insecure child-caregivers attachment connection, particularly in terms of primary caregiver's perceptions. This perspective is an important clinical component to consider in parenting therapies for preschool children. This main goal of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Attachment Insecurity Screening Inventory 2-5 Years (hereafter referred to as AISI 2-5 years), a parent-report questionnaire designed for assessing attachment insecurity in children aged 2 to 5 years.
methodsThe AISI 2-5 years underwent rigorous translation and back-translation processes. The sample comprised 486 preschoolers (M
resultsThe findings revealed a three-factor model, encompassing avoidant attachment, disorganized attachment, and ambivalent/resistant attachment, which demonstrated a good fit for the 18-item AISI 2-5 years. Additionally, these findings demonstrated sufficient internal consistency, reliability, and convergent validity. Consequently, the AISI 2-5 years proves suitable for assessing attachment insecurity among Chinese preschoolers.
conclusionThe results contribute to the advancement of research on children's insecure attachment within the Chinese context. Furthermore, future research is needed to replicate the present findings and enhance the proof supporting the appropriateness of the AISI 2-5 years for preschoolers in China. This will demonstrate its utility in evaluating parents' perception of their children's attachment insecurity.
