Note. N = 164. AAI = Adult Attachment Interview. SES = socioeconomic status. For abused/neglected, 1 = abused/neglected, 0 = not abused/neglected. For participant sex, 1 = female, 0 = male. For participant ethnicity, 1 = White/non-Hispanic, 0 = other. Models were significant at p < .01 at each step except Step 1, 2, 3 when predicting AAI Dismissing (p = .36, .28, .27, respectively).
