通过国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所的早期儿童保育和青少年发展研究的大量不同的儿童样本，研究了母婴依恋安全作为一年级儿童焦虑和攻击行为发展的保护因素的作用。当儿童的性别、家庭收入、母亲敏感性和先前的焦虑和攻击水平被控制时，15个月大的依恋安全被发现可以缓和家庭经历的负面生活事件的影响，从而保护儿童在4.5岁时不经历焦虑症状，而不是攻击症状。在15个月大时被归类为不安全依恋的儿童，经历过许多有压力的生活事件，在一年级时比被归类为安全依恋的儿童表现出更多的焦虑症状，经历过许多类似的消极生活事件。这些发现在依恋理论中得到了解释，该理论预测，早期的依恋安全在儿童童年后期的焦虑经历中具有独特的作用。(c) 2007爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
With a large and diverse sample of children from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, the role of infant-mother attachment security as a protective factor against the development of children's anxious and aggressive behaviors at first grade was examined. When child's sex, family income, maternal sensitivity, and prior levels of anxiety and aggression were controlled for, attachment security at 15 months of age was found to moderate the effects of negative life events families experienced, thereby protecting children from experiencing symptoms of anxiety, but not aggression, at 4.5 years of age. Children classified as insecurely attached at 15 months of age who experienced many stressful life events exhibited more anxiety symptoms in first grade than children classified as securely attached who similarly experienced many negative life events. These findings are interpreted within attachment theory, which predicts that early attachment security has a unique role in children's anxiety experiences later in childhood. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
