MOTHER-INFANT REGULATION: DEPRESSION AND ATTACHMENT

交互调节和自我调节的研究往往相互排斥。 然而，每个人都必须既监督合作伙伴，又调节内部状态。 因此，自我调节和互动调节的结合是必不可少的。 在这个建议中，我们建立在以前的工作互动监管和自我监管。 在以前的工作中，面对面的沟通，在正常的母婴样本，一个连续的互动调节，范围从高偶然性（警惕）到低偶然性（撤回），预测1年的附件的结果，与中档最佳。 我们现在假设自我调节和互动调节都处于中等最佳状态，并将这些概念应用于自我报告的孕产妇抑郁症状（CES-D）和婴儿依恋。 要disembedded两个同时进行的过程中，时间序列的自我和互动的监管方法。 数据收集完成时间：135对母婴在4个月时进行了面对面互动的录像和录音; 90对母婴返回进行了12个月的依恋。 所需资金仅用于编码和分析，使用声音和动作变量。 如果目前的项目复制了我们以前正常研究的预测能力，我们的自动发声仪器将有助于在4个月时检测相互作用障碍。 如果自我与互动困难的相对显着性根据病理类型（抑郁/依恋类型）而不同，那么将这项基础研究转化为临床干预（目前正在通过录像带指导进行）可能会更好地集中。

Studies of interactive regulation and self regulation have tended to exclude each other. However, each person must both monitor the partner and regulate inner state. Thus integration of self and interactive regulation is essential. In this proposal we build on previous work on interactive regulation and add self regulation. In previous work on face-to-face communication in a normal mother-infant sample, a continuum of interactive regulation, ranging from high contingent (vigilant) to low contingent (withdrawn), predicted 1 year attachment outcomes, with midrange optimum. We now hypothesize a midrange optimum in both self- and interactive regulation, and apply these concepts to self-report maternal depressive symptoms (CES-D) and to infant attachment. To disembed the two simultaneous processes, time-series approaches to self- and interactive regulation are used. Data collection is completed: 135 mother-infant dyads have been videotaped and audiotaped in face-to-face interaction at 4 months; 90 have returned for 12 month attachment. Funds are requested for coding and analysis only, using both vocal and kinesic variables. If the current project replicates the predictive power of our previous normal study, our automated vocal instrument will facilitate the detection of interaction disorders at 4 months. If the relative salience of self vs interactive difficulties differs according to kind of pathology (depression/attachment type), translation of this basic research into clinical intervention (currently in progress via videotape coaching) could be more finely focused.
