“…Specifically, because girls tend to favor more intimate relationships, girls may experience greater demands to engage in trustworthy behavior, particularly secretkeeping and, as such, may have higher trust beliefs and trustworthiness than boys (Betts & Rotenberg, 2007). In support of this line of evidence, Italian adolescent girls reported higher trust in their peers when trust was assessed as part of an attachment measure to peers than boys (Pace, San Martini, & Zavattini, 2011). Further, Wilson and Carroll (1991) reported gender differences in 10-to 12-year-olds ascribed trustworthiness with girls receiving significantly higher ratings of same-gender peer-reported and teacher-reported trustworthiness than boys.…”

The components of children's trust in same-gender peers (trust beliefs, ascribed trustworthiness, and dyadic reciprocal trust) were examined in samples of 8-to 11-year-olds from the UK, Italy, and Japan. Trust was assessed by children's ratings of the extent to which same-gender classmates kept promises and kept secrets. Social relations analyses confirmed that children from each country showed significant: (a) actor variance demonstrating reliable individual differences in trust beliefs, (b) partner variance demonstrating reliable individual differences in ascribed trustworthiness, and (c) relationship variance demonstrating unique relationships between interaction partners. Cultural differences in trust beliefs and ascribed trustworthiness also emerged and these differences were attributed to the tendency for children from cultures that value societal goals to share personal information with the peer group.

“…It is the most valid tool used for adolescents and often used for young youth. The IPPA has been widely used in the clinical and developmental child psychology literature, [33][34][35] Pace, San Martini, and Zavattini [36] conducted a research to evaluate the IPPA's three factor structure. Exploratory factor analyses and confirmatory factor analysis revealed the three factor model had the best fit, although all three dimensions (trust, communication, and alienation) were strongly interrelated.…”

Background: Parental and peer attachment have been shown to affect students' academic performance and educational outcomes. Although low attachment to parents and peers was not the single predictor of poor academic performance, strong attachment was found to influence the college students' sense of self and promoted higher self-esteem. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parents' and peer attachment on academic achievement of late adolescent nursing students and compare this effect among Saudi and Egyptian students. In spite of that the total sample were taken from Arab countries, each sample differ in many ways mainly the conservative culture and economic status that was reflected in parent and peer attachment among both countries which foster the researcher to compare it. Methods: Design: Comparative study design was used for this study should be added here after the methods. Setting: This study was conducted in the Faculty of Nursing-University of Dammam-KSA and Faculty of Nursing-Assuit University-Egypt. Subject: A total subject of 492 nursing students was enrolled in the study (which is representative of the nursing students from level 3 to level 8). Tool: Two tools were used for this study. Tool I: demographic data of the students & GPA. Tool II: Attachment inventory scale The IPPA consists of 25 items for the mother, 25 items for the father, and 25 items for the peers. A comparative study design was used and a self-report questionnaire with a five point Likert scale response was filled by the study subject. Results: Attachment of Egyptian students to their peers was significantly higher than Saudi students. A significant subscales of attachment between Saudi and Egyptian students were mother's alienation and peer alienation, high parent and high peer attachment group working more better on academic achievement, however the low parent and peer attachment group wasn't considered as the single predictor of poor academic performance. Conclusions: Parent's attachment in our study appears to have no effect on academic achievement of both countries. Peer attachment seemed to have a significant effect on academic performance for Egyptian students and not for Saudi students.

“…As previously outlined, inconsistencies in research findings regarding the IPPA's three factor structure have been reported among Caucasian and minority populations (e.g., Pace et al, 2011;Johnson et al, 2003). The results obtained in the present study highlight previous conclusions that the IPPA's three factor structure is not supported when examined among minority or clinical populations (Johnson et al, 2003).…”

“…Using a community sample of 1059 Italian middle and high school students, Pace, San Martini, & Zavattini (2011) tested the three factor model of the IPPA (Trust, Communication, and Alienation) as well as a two factor (Trust-communication and Alienation) and a single factor model (attachment security). Exploratory factor analyses and confirmatory factor analysis revealed the three factor model had the best fit, although all three dimensions (trust, communication, and alienation) were strongly interrelated (Pace, San Martini, & Zavattini, 2011).…”
