Three-year-olds' attachment play narratives and their associations with internalizing problems. By: Miljkovitch, Raphaële; Pierrehumbert, Blaise; Halfon, Olivier. Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy, Jul/Aug2007, Vol. 14 Issue 4, p249-257, 9p, 2 charts Abstract: Representational strategies of emotion regulation during play are believed to protect children against behaviour problems. Yet, before the age of 4, it appears that children rely more on their attachment figure than on representational strategies to assuage distress. The study was aimed at testing whether 3-year-olds' narrative features during the Attachment Story Completion Task (ASCT) could predict concurrent internalizing problems assessed by the mothers' and fathers' ratings of the child, using the Child Behaviour Checklist. Regression analyses including gender, IQ, socio-economic status and ASCT dimensions revealed that representations of supportive caregiving predicted mother-reported internalizing problems (negative association), whereas positive resolution and attachment strategies (security, deactivation, hyperactivation, disorganization) did not. Results were interpreted with reference to Bowlby's hypotheses regarding the aetiology of depression and anxiety disorders. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Maternal depression and children's attachment representations during the preschool years. By: Trapolini, T.; Ungerer, J. A.; Mcmahon, C. A.. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, Jun2007, Vol. 25 Issue 2, p247-261, 15p Abstract: This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the impact of chronic and transient maternal depression on children's attachment representations at 4 years of age measured with the Attachment Story Completion Task (Bretherton, Ridgeway, & Cassidy, 1990). The impact of concurrent maternal depressive symptoms was also considered. A secondary aim was to investigate the continuity of attachment classification at IS months with child attachment representations at 4 years. Children of mothers who were concurrently depressed were more likely to have attachment representations characterized by uncontained physical aggression. In contrast, there were no significant relationships between exposure to prior chronic maternal depression and children's attachment representations at 4 years, nor were there any significant relationships between behavioural assessments of attachment during infancy and later representational assessments. Findings are discussed in the context of caregiving behaviours that may foster secure attachment relationships and influence a child's social-emotional development, limitations of representational measures, as well as poor attachment stability.

The relations between maternal behaviors and urban preschool children's internal working models of attachment security. By: Goodman, Geoff; Aber, J. Lawrence; Berlin, Lisa; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne. Infant Mental Health Journal, Winter1998, Vol. 19 Issue 4, p378-393, 16p Abstract: Interviewed 93 African-American, low-income women who had become pregnant as teenagers and their preschool-aged children in their homes. Mothers answered questions regarding their everyday stresses and feelings of depression. Children were assessed for receptive vocabulary ability, then video-taped completing five stories thematically related to attachment experiences with mother and rated on their security of attachment. Mothers and children were also videotaped playing together, and mothers were assessed on their sensitivity to their children's cues. After controlling for children's age and receptive vocabulary ability, mothers' sensitivity significantly predicted children's level of attachment security. The positive association between maternal sensitivity and children's security of attachment, and the strengths and weaknesses of administering the Attachment Story-Completion Task in the home with this population, are discussed. Implications for assessing attachment in the home are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] (AN 11772118)

Children of adolescent mothers: Attachment representation, maternal depression, and later behavior problems. Hubbs-Tait, Laura; Hughes, Kere Pond; Culp, Anne McDonald; American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, Vol 66(3), Jul 1996. pp. 416-426. [Journal Article] Abstract: Investigated attachment representations and maternal depression and their impact on child behavior problems (BPs). 34 44-mo-old children were interviewed for the Attachment Story Completion Task, and their mothers (aged 14-18 yrs) were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results show 2 factors, Departure and Reunion, underlying the responses of Ss to the 5 attachment narratives. The Departure factor and maternal depression were both correlated with BPs; the Reunion factor was not. Departure explained 20% of the variance in externalizing BPs but did not explain significant variance in internalizing BPs. Scores predicted children's externalizing BPs 10 mo later and discriminated children in the clinical from those in the normal range for externalizing problems. Results confirm the predictive validity of the Departure factor but not the Reunion factor. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved)

Add AddedAttachment: The Parental Perspective. By: Bretherton, Inge; Biringen, Zeynep; Ridgeway, Doreen; Maslin, Christine; Sherman, Michael. Infant Mental Health Journal, Fall89, Vol. 10 Issue 3, p203-221, 19p Abstract: In the course of dally transactions, caregivers and children construct internal working models of self and other in the attachment relationship (Bowlby, 1969). The function of such working models is to guide an individual's own behavior toward the attachment panner and to interpret and forecast the partner's behavior. So far, however, research on internal working models has largely focused on attachment from the filial rather than the parental perspective even when adults were studied. To remedy this situation. 36 middle-class mothers were interviewed regarding their attachment relationship with their 25-month-old children. Attachment-relevant interview questions were open-ended, allowing the mothers to produce their own descriptive categories. The interview took about an hour. Two analyses were performed on the interview transcripts: a content analysis of specific attachment themes and a global evaluation of attachment quality as conveyed by the interview text as a whole. The content analysis provided interesting findings regarding mother—child affect communication, mother—child separation, and autonomy negotiations. For the global analysis a sensitivity/insight scale was applied to the interview text. This scale was significantly correlated with other attachment measures for the same children at 18 months (Strange Situation), 25 months (Waters & Deane Q-sort), and 37 months (Separation-Reunion Procedure, Attachment Story Completion Task). The sensitivity/insight scale was also significantly and meaningfully correlated with maternal and questionnaire dam regarding infant temperament, maternal personality and family climate. In sum, the Parent Attachment Interview provides new insights into parental experiences of the attachment relationship and can also serve as an alternative or additional measure of attachment quality.

vi ringrazio...
ancora una domanda...ho un elenco di domande da fare ai bimbi....mi chiedevo, se non mi rispondono molto (o solo a monosiiabi) posso dare indicazioni o fare altre domande (tpi se alla domanda "succede qualcos'altro?" rispondono sistematicamnete "no")?

[silviats]

oggi ho provato la prima somministrazione, bimbi di 4 anni...

molti dubbi... chiedo aiuto!

. mi hanno detto pochissimo ("Come si sente paolo?" "male". "ma cosa vuoi dire con male?" "che non sta bene"."ok, ma è triste, è felice, è preoccupato..." "sta male")
. si stufano dopo 10 minuti, nonostante cerchi di essere più "leggera" possibile
. non sempre rispondono a tono (es. "come pensi che si sentano mamma e papà per il fatto che paolo ha rovesciato il succo?" "...eh...paolo ha i capelli gialli")

mi sa che sbaglio qualcosa.... qualche aiuto?
