Scatter plot displaying the association between participants’ attachment anxiety score (mean-centered) and change in recollections of maternal care after oxytocin (OXT) [vs. placebo (PL)], with predicted regression line. The dotted curves indicate 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Higher numbers on the care change index (y axis) indicate an increase in care recollections in the oxytocin condition; lower numbers on the care change index indicate a decrease in care recollections in the oxytocin condition; a change score of zero indicates no change in recollections of maternal care across drug conditions. Higher numbers on the attachment anxiety scale (x axis) indicate greater attachment anxiety. Predicted values are shown only for observed levels of attachment anxiety. The predictive equation when other variables are set to their mean value is as follows: change in maternal care = 0.02 – 0.125 (mean-centered attachment anxiety). The effect of attachment anxiety predicting change in maternal care ratings was significant at P < 0.05, two-tailed.
