研究表明,使用成人依恋访谈(AAI)的成人依恋安全与使用奇异情境程序(SSP)的婴儿安全之间存在着密切的关系。这表明,母亲对依恋的表征可能会影响婴儿对她的依恋的发展。这项研究在47名第一次怀孕的母亲和她们的婴儿的队列中证实并修改了这一发现。AAIs在妊娠晚期进行,SSPs在婴儿14个月大时进行。应用Crittenden的动态成熟模型(DMM)和SSP的动态成熟模型(DMM)以及Main和所罗门的ABC+D方法对AAI进行分类。安全的母亲和婴儿的模式有显著的匹配,但不安全的依恋模式有倒置的趋势,即A型母亲生下的婴儿通常是C型模式的,反之亦然。未发现DMM成人与ABC+D婴儿依恋模式之间的显著关系。在DMM和ABC+D婴儿SSP分类之间发现了显著但温和的关联。这些发现可能有助于指导缺乏安全感的母婴二元组的治疗,方法是个体化干预,将重点放在婴儿的母体表征和母体对婴儿行为的反应上。
Studies have demonstrated a strong relation between adult attachment security, using the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), and infant security, using the Strange Situation Procedure (SSP). This suggests that a mother’s representations of attachment may influence the development of her infant’s attachment to her. This study both confirms and modifies that finding in a cohort of 47 first-time mothers and their infants. The AAIs were administered during the third trimester of pregnancy and the SSPs were performed when the infant was 14 months of age. The AAIs were classified using Crittenden’s Dynamic-Maturational Model (DMM) and the SSPs using both the DMM and also Main and Solomon’s ABC+D methods. There was a significant match of patterns for secure mothers and babies, but a tendency for inversion of insecure patterns of attachment, i.e., Type A mothers often had infants with a Type C pattern and vice versa. No significant relation was seen between the DMM adult and ABC+D infant patterns of attachment. A significant, but modest, association was found between the DMM and ABC+D infant SSP classifications. These findings may help guide treatment of insecure mother-infant dyads by individualizing interventions to include a focus on maternal representations of the infant and maternal responses to infant behavior.
