WORKING MODELS OF ATTACHMENT--A SOCIAL COGNITIVE APPROAC

描述（申请人摘要）：依恋研究考察了 内部工作模式的内在化表征--自我和他人 在早期互动的基础上发展--在指导认知， 情绪和行为反应模式 社会认知研究 研究了认知结构在人们如何解释，编码， 并记住日常生活中遇到的信息。 而 依恋理论的方法可以告知发展， 社会图式在人际行为中的作用，社会认知 方法可以帮助深入了解这些方法， 图式影响社会信息加工，并提供精炼的 研究它们的方法。 拟议的研究计划 整合了社会认知和依恋理论的观点， 促进对工作模型的性质和内容的理解， 研究它们影响认知情感的过程 响应模式。 具体而言，本研究有三个目的：（1） 测试依恋的内部工作模式是否长期构成 可访问构造（即，模式）影响信息处理 依恋相关刺激的影响;（2）检查两种依恋相关刺激的影响。 启动--关系和非关系--对信息加工的影响 不同依恋类型的个体;（3）调查 具体的认知机制，可能是假设的偏见， 信息处理是每种依恋风格的特征。

DESCRIPTION (Applicant's abstract): Attachment research examines the role of internal working models--internalized representations of self and other that develop on the basis of early interactions--in directing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral response patterns. Social cognition research examines the role of cognitive structures in how people interpret, encode, and remember information they encounter in their everyday lives. Whereas the attachment-theoretical approach can inform about the development and role of social schemas in interpersonal behavior, the social cognitive approach can contribute an in-depth understanding of the ways in which these schemas influence social information processing and offer refined methodologies for studying them. The proposed program of research integrates the social cognitive and attachment- theoretical perspectives to advance understanding of the nature and content of working models, and to examine the processes through which they influence cognitive-affective response patterns. More specifically, this research has three aims: (1) to test whether internal working models of attachment constitute chronically accessible constructs (i.e., schemas) that affect the information processing of attachment-relevant stimuli; (2) to examine the effects of two kinds of priming--relational and non-relational--on information processing of individuals who differ in their attachment styles; and (3) to investigate specific cognitive mechanisms that might underlie the hypothesized biases in information processing that are characteristic of each attachment style.
