本研究旨在探讨婴儿的睡眠-觉醒调节与依恋安全性之间的联系。受试者是57名健康的以色列婴儿-母亲二对。在12个月时，使用依恋Q集（AQS）（沃茨和迪恩，1985）评估母子关系。通过活动监测器和母亲报告客观地测量睡眠。客观睡眠记录与安全性或依赖性评分无关。与此相反，母亲对孩子睡眠问题的描述与孩子的依赖关系有关。这一结果与依赖性而不是安全性调节儿童睡眠过渡的前提一致。既然气质与依赖性安置和儿童的睡眠模式都有牵连，那么进一步解开睡眠-依恋-气质的纠缠是必要的。未来的睡眠调节和依恋的研究应该解决这些结构纵向，并包括观察措施的附件和夜间养育，在不同的儿童养育环境。(C)2004年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
This study set out to examine the links between infants' sleep-wake regulation and attachment security. Subjects were 57 healthy, Israeli infant-mother dyads. Mother-child relationship was assessed at 12 months with the Attachment Q-Set (AQS) (Waters & Deane, 1985). Sleep was measured, objectively, with an activity monitor, as well as through maternal reports. The objective sleep records were not associated with either the security or the dependency score. In contrast, mothers' descriptions of the child's sleep problems were associated with the child's dependency placement. This result is in line with the premise that dependency, more than security, modulates the child's transitions to sleep. Since temperament was implicated in both the dependency placement and in the child's sleep pattern, a further disentangling of sleep-attachment-temperament is in order. Future studies of sleep regulation and attachment should address these constructs longitudinally, and include observational measures of attachment and of nighttime parenting, in different child-rearing contexts.
