Sample sizes for each correlation vary due to attrition at 36 months and use of selected subjects for the attachment stability groups. For boys, Beck Year 2 correlation cell sizes range from 51-54 (n = 29 for attachment stability), and Beck 36 month correlation cell sizes range from 43--49 (n = 23 for attachment stability). For girls, Beck Year 2 correlation cell sizes range from 36-38 (n = 21 for attachment stability), and Beck 36 month scores range from 28-30 (n = 15 for attachment stability).
