ABSTRACT

In the biomedical, behavioral and neurobiological sciences reproducibility and replicability of research results have become a major issue. The question is whether attachment research is also plagued by lack of replicability, and if so whether one can speak of a crisis? Furthermore, discussions about the applicability of attachment research findings to policy and (clinical) practice have recently been intensified. The subsequent question arises whether one could even speak of a “translational crisis”. In this paper assumptions and conditions of replicability and applicability will be outlined. Some examples of attachment findings lost or found in translation to policy and practice (e.g. on infant crying and parental insensitive responsiveness) will be used to illustrate the challenges and chances of bridging the gap between attachment science and practice.

摘要

在生物医学、行为和神经生物学科学中，研究结果的可重复性和可复制性已成为一个主要问题。问题是依恋研究是否也受到缺乏可复制性的困扰，如果是这样，是否可以说是危机？此外，关于依恋研究结果对政策和（临床）实践的适用性的讨论最近得到了加强。随之而来的问题是人们是否甚至可以谈论“翻译危机”。在本文中，将概述可复制性和适用性的假设和条件。在转化为政策和实践时丢失或发现依恋结果的一些示例（例如
