Attachment measures different aims in mind. Shaver and Fraley note: "If you are a novice in this research area, what is most important for you to know is that self-report measures of romantic attachment and the AAI were initially developed completely independently and for quite different purposes. One asks about a person's feelings and behaviors in the context of romantic or other close relationships; the other is used to make inferences about the defenses associated with an adult's current state of mind regarding childhood relationships with parents. In principle, these might have been substantially associated, but in fact they seem to be
Convergence of measures said to converge weakly (or in distribution or in law) to "X" as if the sequence of pushforward measures ("X")(P) converges weakly to "X"(P) in the sense of weak convergence of measures on X, as defined above. Convergence of measures In mathematics, more specifically measure theory, there are various notions of the convergence of measures. For an intuitive general sense of what is meant by "convergence in measure", consider a sequence of measures μ on a space, sharing a common collection of measurable sets. Such a sequence might represent an attempt to construct 'better and better' approximations to a desired
