A total of 289 children (Mage = 10,5; SD = 0,77) answered the Security Scale, aninstrument about parenting practices (PRRC) and the Child Behavior Checklist. The results indicatedthat the quality of maternal attachment played a mediating role on externalizing problems, but not oninternalizing which emphasize the important role that attachment quality can play in the associationbetween parenting practices and emotional and behavioral problems in childhood
