“…Student stress anxiety ranged from moderate to high levels, with girls reporting higher levels of stress, a finding that is consistent with data from the international literature as gender-linked response biases, or gender differences in self-confidence or self-efficacy may contribute to overreporting anxiety [22,23]. The most significant predictor in this study was low self-esteem, a result which appears to be in line with earlier studies [24,25]. Regarding the novel coronavirus-related variables, fear of a family member contracting the virus was found to be a significant predictor of test anxiety demonstrating that a situational factor can contribute to text anxiety.…”

“…Kerns (2014) suggests that children who exhibit avoidant attachment characteristics may have difficulty regulating emotions, which could affect anxiety and academic performance. There are numerous studies in the literature that indicate a relationship between anxiety and academic achievement (Vatasari et al, 2010;Dan, Bar & Kurman, 2014;Lewis-Morrarty et al, 2015). Thus, it is believed that secure attachment creates a sense of security in children and has a positive impact on academic performance.…”

The purpose of this study is to assess the social relationship-based behaviors of 19-year-old children who are in the early stages of adulthood and had an avoidant attachment style at age 6 13 years ago. Based on criterion sampling, a purposive sampling method used in qualitative research, the study group of this research was selected from children whose attachment security had been previously identified. The study was conducted with 5 girls and 5 boys with avoidant attachment styles selected from the 26 available children who participated in the 2006 study that identified the attachment patterns of 110 children. The data collection instruments of the study are the IDFSS attachment scale used in 2006 and a semi-structured interview form and a student data form used in 2019. The study concludes that children who exhibited avoidant attachment at age 6 maintained their attachment patterns. They were found to fail in perceiving academic achievement, coping with emotional problems, relationships with parents and others, and trust in others.

“…This may be due to the children’s prior experiences with unpredictability in their parents’ reactions and behaviors (e.g., Goodman et al, 1994) and to the retrieval activity itself being a test, which could be anxiety provoking irrespective of context (Dan, Bar Ilan, & Kurman, 2014). …”

Despite evidence that parents’ attachment is associated with children’s memory, less is known about the mechanisms underlying this association or the contexts in which the association is most meaningful. The present study examined whether parents’ attachment predicted children’s memory for stories about attachment-related topics, whether the cohesiveness of children’s stories mediated the association between attachment and memory, and whether the association varied by interview support at retrieval. Five- to 6-year-olds completed attachment-relevant stories while parents provided information about their romantic attachment. Children’s stories were coded for cohesiveness. A week later, children’s memory for their stories was tested by either a supportive or non-supportive interviewer. When the interview was non-supportive, greater parental avoidance was associated with poorer memory, whereas when the interview was supportive, greater parental avoidance was associated with fewer errors. Findings provide insight into the context under which parents’ attachment is most influential in shaping children’s memory.
