The articles in this special issue address empirically the application of attachment theory to
cognitive vulnerability models of anxiety and depression.
The findings from these studies converge on the theme that attachment theory has considerable utility in potentially extending and refining current
cognitive vulnerability models through a consideration of interpersonal context and the cognitive mechanisms by which negative interpersonal experiences may confer increased risk to later anxious and depressive symptoms.

model in youth so far may be due to the moderating role of gender being dependent on age.

model in early adolescent girls.

cognitive vulnerability to stress
