q2 · i? · causal · r2

Experimental pretest–posttest–follow-up study with control group of 30 orphans (15 treatment, 15 control) in Ahvaz. The "one-way covariance analysis of posttests in insecure attachment variable" was significant at both stages; treatment posttest mean was 42.86 vs control 63.13.

"one-way covariance analysis of posttests in insecure attachment variable in the posttest stage (F = 62.53 & p < 0.001) and in the follow-up stage (F = 56.02 & p < 0.001) is significant. Therefore, the second hypothesis is confirmed."
