“…The lack of contingent interactions with a stable caregiver may be related to decreased emotional and behavioral control, including effortful attention regulation and inhibitory control (Bakermans-Kranenburg et al, in press;Dobrova-Krol, Bakermans-Kranenburg, van IJzendoorn, & Juffer, 2010). …”

“…Children rarely, if ever, experience warm, sensitive, contingently responsive interactions, and there is little opportunity to form an attachment relationship (The St. Petersburg-USA Orphanage Research Team, 2005Team, , 2008 . Indeed, many institutional children are classified as having disorganized attachments (Dobrova-Krol et al, 2010;The St. Petersburg-USA Orphanage Research Team, 2008;Vorria, et al, 2003;Zeanah, Smyke, Koga, & Carlson, 2005). Thus, research with these children can more specifically address the impact of early social-emotional deprivation, rather than other factors often associated with institutions, on later outcomes.…”

Perceived relationship quality in adolescents following early social-emotional deprivation

Children who spend their early life in social-emotionally depriving institutions have limited opportunities to engage in relationships. This early experience has been associated with many problematic behavioral outcomes; however, researchers have not frequently examined relationship quality of post-institutional adoptees, nor have they examined aspects of the adoptive family that might moderate institutionalization effects. The purpose of this study was to examine the self-reported relationship quality of 10–17-year-old children adopted into the USA from Russian institutions and to determine whether sibling characteristics (relative age, gender composition, sibling adoption status) moderate institutionalization effects. Older age at adoption was related to poorer friendship and sibling, but not mother, relationship quality. Older siblings and same-sex siblings buffered children from this negative age-at-adoption association.

“…Studies focusing on HIV and attachment are mostly focused on attachment styles of adults with HIV (Feeney & Raphael, 1992;Koopman et al, 2000) or the attachment relationships of HIV-positive children (Dobrova-krol, Bakermans-Kranenburg, Van IJzendoorn, & Juffer, 2010). Only one study could be found on mother-infant attachment relationships where the mothers were HIV positive.…”

Children from mothers with HIV-related psychosis are frequently raised in challenging contexts, yet the extent to which these children grow up in insecure or disordered attachment relationships is unknown. Using the Strange Situation Procedure the distribution of attachment relationships of children from mothers with HIV and psychosis (n = 45) was compared with children from mothers with HIV without psychosis (n = 41). No significant differences in the distributions were found between the two groups and attachment was not associated with specific psychotic symptomatology. Security of attachment was associated with more people providing the mother with emotional support, but only in the psychosis group. Disordered attachment (24%) was more often found in the total sample than in studies with other normal and high risk populations. Recommendations were made for future research about factors facilitating resilience in the children and on interventions increasing emotional support for affected mothers. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Although multiple investigations indicate that institutional care is associated with high rates of insecure and disorganized attachment patterns (Dobrova-Krol, Bakermans-Kranenburg, Van Ijzendoorn, & Juffer, 2010;St. Petersburg-USA Orphanage Research Team, 2008;Vorria et al, 2003;Zeanah & Gleason, 2015;Zeanah, Smyke, Koga, Carlson, & the BEIP Core Group, 2005), limited attention has been paid to formal attachment disorders.…”

Inhibited attachment disordered behavior in institutionalized preschool children: links with early and current relational experiences

Inhibited attachment disordered behavior (IADB) is characterized by difficulty in establishing an attachment relationship with a primary caregiver; is associated with persistent social and emotional problems; and is observed most frequently in contexts of pathological care such as institutional rearing. Here, we seek to enhance understanding of the conditions that give rise to IADB among institutionalized children by examining prior family experiences of neglect and deprivation and concurrent relational experiences at the institution. The sample is comprised of 146 children, between 36 and 78 months. IADB was assessed using a semistructured interview administered to the child's primary caregiver. Results revealed that both pre-institutionalization experiences (e.g. parental abandonment) and current relational ones (e.g. low quality of child-caregiver relationship) predicted IADB. Findings are discussed in light of the need to promote conditions which foster the establishment and maintenance of the child's selective attachment to a caregiving figure.ARTICLE HISTORY

The importance of quality of care: effects of perinatal HIV infection and early institutional rearing on preschoolers’ attachment and indiscriminate friendliness

Abstract: Etiology and function of indiscriminate friendliness may differ for family-reared versus institution-reared children. The findings of this study suggest the necessity of early interventions improving the quality of care for HIV-infected children.
