Universality and normativity of the attachment theory in non-western psychiatric and non-psychiatric samples: multiple group confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)

This study tests for the first time the validity of universality and normativity assumptions related to the attachment theory in a non-Western culture, using a novel design including psychiatric and non-psychiatric samples as part of a comprehensive exploratory and advanced confirmatory framework...
