From their origins, Italian early childhood services paid attention to the transition from family to childcare centre, explicitly referring to attachment theory. In the present study, the Parent Attachment Diary was adapted and applied within a childcare centre context to examine the development of infants’ relationship with their professional care...

Questions
Question (1)
Hi everyone, I need help for what analysis is better for this longitudinal study. In my study, I measured the attachment security of children at 5 time points. My dubts are that: 1) spacing between time points is not equal (T1 = beginning; T2 = after 1 month; T3 = after 2 months; T4 = after 6 months; T5 = after 15 months); 2) the total sample is 148 children but not all of them have the 5 observations/scores (T1 = 148; T2 = 140; T3 = 112; T4 = 20; T5 = 50) so there are many missing, especially at T4.
Aim: I would like to examine if attachment scores change significantly over time and if these are affected by other variables such as gender, age, etc.
My questions are:
- focusing on the first period of time, as preliminary analysis for T1-2-3 I used the Repeated Measures ANOVA, because the spacing between time points are equal (however, there are some missing and I lose some information). Then, I analyzed means with the Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis and Post-hoc tests (Bonferroni) with e.g. "gender" as between-subjects factor. Does that work?
- then the study has continued at T4 and T5. Which analysis can I use now? Does it make sense to quit T4 with so few subjects?
- what analysis considering the role played by other variables? Growth Curve Model?
Thanks so much

Psychological, pedagogical and teaching factors that could improve university students' academic success.
Validation of “Professional Caregiver Attachment Diary” for both research and practice.
The aims of this project are:
1 – observe and examine the formation of children’s attachment relationship during the earlier month of childcare;
2 - offer to professional caregivers a method and a tool (the PC Attachment Diary) to do it autonomously, as vocational training.
