“…Our sample consisted of married, White, middle class women who, on average, together with their infants displayed quite positive interaction during play at 24 months; hence generalizability to other populations is limited until verified. Caution must be also be exercised given the cultural specificity in individual maternal and infant behaviors during dyadic exchanges (e.g., Bornstein, Haynes, Pascual, Painter, & Galperin, 1999) and the range of cultural influences on the attachment process (e.g., Grossmann, Grossmann, Spangler, Suess, & Unzner, 1985;Kazui, Endo, Tanaka, Sakagami, & Suganuma, 2000). Furthermore, because observations in this study were made in only one context, mother-infant play, research is needed to determine the generalizability of these finding to contexts other than play.…”

At 24-months of age, toddlers (N = 62) and their mothers were observed in a free-play session to determine the contribution of (a) maternal sensory sensitivity to positive and negative infant facial expressions as measured in a signal detection task at 6 months (b) maternal behavior and affect, infant behavior and affect, and dyadic interaction at 9 months, and (c) infant attachment status at 12 months in predicting maternal, toddler, and dyadic measures at 24 months. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that over and above early maternal behavior, which was predictive of later maternal behavior at 24 months, sensory sensitivity to the positive infant expression at 6 months predicted maternal behavior at 24 months and sensory sensitivity to both the positive and negative expression was associated with later maternal affect. Infant attachment status emerged as the variable which predicted toddler behavior and dyadic interaction at 24 months. Keywordssignal detection methodology; maternal sensory sensitivity; mother-infant interaction; infant attachment status; infant facial expressions The current study examined mother-toddler interaction patterns during play at 24 months by tracing their development longitudinally with respect to the potential influence of early maternal sensory sensitivity to infants' affective signaling at 6 months, maternal behavior and affect, infant behavior and affect, and dyadic interaction at 9 months, and infant attachment status at 12 months. Interaction between mothers and their infants provides opportunities for infants' socio-emotional learning and reflects the quality of dyadic interaction. Developing synchrony between a mother and her infant affords the infant reciprocal exchanges that facilitate social, emotional, and cognitive growth for the child (see Harrist & Waugh, 2002, for review). Early social play is frequently mentioned as an important relational context offering affective exchanges in the form of face-to-face play and attachment behaviors (Stern, 1995), exchanges which are thought to impact the child's development of self and others (Harel, Oppenheim, Tirosh, & Gini, 1999). Aspects of these earlier social play interactions change as the infant becomes more mobile to include exploration of the environment and manipulation of objects, with exploration of toys in the company of the mother being an important setting Corresponding author: Wilberta Donovan, Ph.D., Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1500 Highland Ave. Madison, WI 53705; Lewis Leavitt, Nicole Taylor, and Jennifer Broder are also at the Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin -Madison Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

“…Moreover, AQS observations are conducted in the home, and they may therefore have higher ecological validity. Furthermore, because the application of the AQS does not require the stressful separations used in the SSP, the method can be applied in cultures and populations in which parent -infant separations are uncommon (e.g., Kazui, Endo, Tanaka, Sakagami, & Suganuma, 2000). Because the AQS is less intrusive than the SSP, it may be used more frequently with the same child, for example, in repeated measures designs and in studies on children's attachment networks.…”

Assessing Attachment Security With the AttachmentQSort: Meta‐Analytic Evidence for the Validity of the Observer AQS

et al. 2004

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The reliability and validity of the Attachment Q Sort (AQS; Waters & Deane, 1985) was tested in a series of metaanalyses on 139 studies with 13,835 children. The observer AQS security score showed convergent validity with Strange Situation procedure (SSP) security (r 5.31) and excellent predictive validity with sensitivity measures (r 5.39). Its association with temperament was weaker (r 5.16), which supports the discriminant validity of the observer AQS. Studies on the stability of the observer AQS are still relatively scarce but they have yielded promising results (mean r 5.28; k 5 4, n 5 162). It is concluded that the observer AQS, but not the self-reported AQS, is a valid measure of attachment.

“…Estos MOI del apego también pueden explicar la relativa continuidad que se observa entre la calidad de las primeras relaciones y las que se establecen en edades posteriores (Ainsworth, 1993;Bowlby, 1980;Carlson, Sroufe y Egeland, 2004;Thompson, 2000). Así como la tendencia a la reproducción intergeneracional del tipo de apego (Bowlby, 1869(Bowlby, , 1980Ricks, 1985;Kazui, Endo, Tanaka, Sakagami y Suganuma, 2000). Ambos tipos de continuidad (intra e intersujeto) han sido atribuidas tanto a la continuidad del ambiente en el que se desarrollan como a la posibilidad de que actúen como expectativas que se cumplen automáticamente (Ainsworth, 1993).…”

ResumenEste trabajo presenta las conclusiones preliminares de una investigación que describe y analiza cómo alteraciones en el apego en la infancia y adolescencia pueden relacionarse con factores de exclusión social en la edad adulta, como el trastorno mental severo. La muestra estuvo compuesta por un grupo de 200 pacientes con trastorno mental severo y un grupo control de 84 estudiantes universitarios. Para la recogida de los datos se empleó la "Escala de Experiencias Familiares en la Infancia y Adolescencia (EFI)". Los resultados mostraron un efecto principal debido al tipo de apego y una interacción significativa con el tipo de muestra, observándose que el grupo de TMS arrojaba puntuaciones más elevadas que los estudiantes en apego alterado, maltrato e inversión de roles, mientras que los estudiantes superaban al grupo de TMS en apego seguro. Palabras clave: Integración social; Apego; Familia disfuncional; Asesoramiento psicopedagógico Abstract This paper presents the preliminary findings of a study that describes and analyzes how disturbances in the attachment in infancy and adolescence may be related to factors of social exclusion in adulthood, such as severe mental disorder. The sample consisted of a group of 200 patients with severe mental disorder and a control group of 84 university students. The data was gathered through a questionnaire, the "Family Experiences in Childhood and Adolescence Scale". The results showed a principal effect due to the type of attachment and a significative interaction with the type of sample, noting that the SMD group had higher scores in altered attachment, abuse and role inversion, and the students in secure attachment. Keywords:Social integration; Attachment behavior; Dysfunctional family; Child guidance La idea de inclusión social está relacionada con las de integración, cohesión y justicia social. Consiste en materializar la posibilidad de participación igualitaria de todas las personas en todas las dimensiones sociales. Su opuesto se actualizaría en el concepto de exclusión social, la cual se suele entender como un estado o una situación. La idea de exclusión agrupa las políticas o intervenciones dirigidas a revertirla. Se trata, por tanto, de una respuesta activa que pretende asegurar que todas las personas tengan las oportunidades y los recursos necesarios para participar plenamente en la vida económica, social y política, y disfrutar de unas condiciones de vida digna (European Foundation, 1995).Buscando sus orígenes históricos se puede decir que, si bien el concepto de exclusión fue acuñado en los años 50 y 70, no sería hasta los 80 cuando se populariza. Así, el tema de la exclusión/inclusión madura como para pasar a ocupar un rango privilegiado en el pensamiento de la actual Unión Europea, llegando a reemplazar totalmente, por un tiempo al menos, al concepto de pobreza.El impulso a la investigación en temas de exclusión social, en el ámbito Europeo, se debe en buena medida al desarrollo y puesta en marcha del Primer Programa Marco de lucha contra la Pobreza, 1975P...
