In this section we described the planned statistics to answer our four research questions:
1) Does maternal care after distress decrease the release of cortisol in the child?
2) Does maternal care after distress increase the release of oxytocin in the child?
3) Does maternal care after distress increase state trust in the child?
4) Are increased oxytocin, decreased cortisol, increased state trust and high contingency predictors of Secure Base Script knowledge development over the course of one year?
