Commentary: Response to commentary by Bilgin and Wolke (2021)

Recently in this journal, Bilgin and Wolke (2020) published a paper which showed no association between leaving infants to ‘cry it out’ and infant-mother attachment. In our commentary (Davis & Kramer, 2021), we argued that the study was underpowered and, as such, could not be considered a conclusive demonstration that ‘cry it out’ had no adverse effects on attachment. The authors (Bilgin & Wolke, 2021) responded by claiming that, in combination with previous research, there was now ‘overwhelming evidence that letting a baby to cry it out a few times or even often has no adverse effects for infant-mother attachment formation during infancy’ (p. 2). Here, we show that their study was indeed underpowered and argue that there is, as yet, no compelling evidence that ‘cry it out’ is not harmful for attachment. Therefore, this technique should not be utilised by parents until more conclusive evidence has been provided.

Attachment and Age As Predictors of the Emotional Maturity of University Students

This study aims to determine the impact of chronological age and attachment (parent and peer) on the emotional maturity of university students. This research is a quantitative study with correlational research. This research uses over 300 students from the State University of Malang. The sampling technique used is multistage purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study were Armsden and Greenberg’s adaptation of IPPA-R Attachment scale made and Murray’s emotional maturity scale. The results show that there is a chronological age impact on the emotional maturity partially with p-value = 0,010, p < 0.05. they also indicate there is an attachment impact on the emotional maturity partially with p-value = 0.000, p < 0.05. Finally, the findings suggest there is an impact of chronological age and attachment simultaneously against the emotional maturity with p-value = 0.000, p < 0.05 and the contributes of 10.7%, where the chronological age contributes of 2% and attachment contributes of 8.7%.

Occasional cry-it-out has no adverse effects on infant–mother attachment or behavioural development

The debate over letting an infant ‘cry-it-out’ or responding immediately has been ongoing for decades. Now, researchers at the University of Warwick have provided important evidence to inform this debate.
