-The measures used were a Mood and Feeling Questionnaire and the Child-ASI.

-The Child-ASI covered four different sections which were: demographics (which included household dynamics), life-events (which were done on a self-report scale), support/relationships with parents and friends, and attachment attitudes and overall style.


Measures Used in the ASI Study

Majority of the sample were chosen from a normal primary school population. There was a subsample from children in either foster care or residential homes to allow for more vulnerable cases.

-To create a semi-structured child attachment interview, similar to the adult and adolescent ASI so that it produces the same attachment styles with rates similar to those found in other measures

-To test the new interview’s inter-rater reliability, concurrent, and predictive validity in relation to depression and risk factors in young children

-To test if an insecure attachment style builds upon other risk factors for depression.
