“…A host of studies provide evidence of such developmental benefits in domains that are arguably relevant to the subject of conscientiousness. Research indicates, for example, that children with secure attachments, relative to their insecure counterparts, tend to have fewer behavioral problems (Fearon, Bakermans-Kranenburg, van IJzendoorn, Lapsley, & Roisman, 2010), are more resilient when faced with challenge (Matas, Arend, & Sroufe, 1978;Murray et al, 2011), are more socially competent (Cohn, 1990;Elicker, Englund, & Sroufe, 1992;Waters, Wippman, & Sroufe, 1979), and may show more advanced cognitive development (particularly in language, see van IJzendoorn, Dijkstra, & Bus, 1995).…”
