这份报告旨在调查针对儿童依恋和探索系统定制的母性行为的能力，以共同解释众所周知的母子依恋传递。在7个月至2岁之间进行了4次家访，共130个母子二人组，以评估母亲依恋的心理状态、敏感性、自主支持和母子依恋安全。结果表明，母性敏感性和自主性支持共同解释了母子依恋之间的关系，它们各自解释了母子依恋关系中独特的一部分，并且这些中介路径的大小是相等的。这些结果表明，依恋传递差距可以通过使用理论驱动的多维方法来缩小母性行为。
This report aimed to investigate the capacity of maternal behaviors tailored to children's attachment and exploration systems to jointly explain the well-known mother-child transmission of attachment. Four home visits were conducted between ages 7months and 2years with 130 mother-child dyads to assess maternal attachment state of mind, sensitivity, autonomy support, and mother-child attachment security. Results showed that together, maternal sensitivity and autonomy support fully accounted for the relation between maternal and child attachment, that they each accounted for a unique portion of this relation, and that the magnitude of these mediated pathways was equivalent. These results suggest that the attachment transmission gap can be narrowed by the use of a theory-driven multidimensional approach to maternal behavior.
