Abstract
This preregistered randomized controlled study investigated the effects of Video-Feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) on parents' secure base script knowledge (SBSK). Furthermore, we examined whether effects of VIPP-SD on sensitive caregiving and sensitive discipline behavior and parents' attitudes toward these behaviors were moderated by SBSK at baseline. Families (n = 445) with pre- and school-aged children (n = 890) were randomized to receive VIPP-SD or telephone calls. Results showed no effects of VIPP-SD on SBSK. Furthermore, there was no moderation of effects on sensitive caregiving or sensitive discipline behavior by SBSK. VIPP-SD promoted positive attitudes toward sensitive caregiving and sensitive discipline behavior. The latter effect was moderated by SBSK: parents with lower SBSK showed the strongest improvements in positive attitudes toward sensitive discipline behavior. This effect was driven by a subgroup of younger children. These findings highlight the potential importance of tailoring interventions to meet the specific needs of parents with varying levels of SBSK.

We thank the participating families for their enthusiastic involvement in the Leiden Consortium on Individual Development (L-CID).We are also grateful to the data-collection and data-processing team, including all current and former students, research assistants, PhD students and post-doctoral researchers for their dedicated and invaluable contributions. Marinus H. van IJzendoorn, Eveline Crone, and Marian J. Bakermans-Kranenburg designed the L-CID experimental cohort-sequential twin study \u201CSamen Uniek\u201D as part of the Consortium on Individual Development (Gravitation grant 2013-2023 awarded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science, and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek; Grant number 024.001.003). We thank Saskia Euser for training observers to code parental sensitivity, sensitive discipline, and parental secure base script knowledge. The study design, hypotheses and analysis plan were preregistered at the open science framework (OSF) (https://osf.io/mebsd/?view_only=8c6add49e9ba4576a4b568cc74ed03f9). Pseudonymized data will be shared upon request. The data will be shared after approval of the request for data sharing and when a Data Transfer Agreement (DTA) has been signed by both parties.
