Attachment security moderates the link between adverse childhood experiences and cellular aging / Or DAGAN in Development and Psychopathology, 30-4 (October 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 30-4 (October 2018) . - p.1211-1223 Titre : Attachment security moderates the link between adverse childhood experiences and cellular aging Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Or DAGAN, Auteur ; Arun ASOK, Auteur ; Howard STEELE, Auteur ; Miriam STEELE, Auteur ; Kristin BERNARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1211-1223 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Exposure to childhood adversity has been linked to accelerated telomere shortening, a marker of cellular aging and an indicator of physical health risk. In the current study, we examined whether adult attachment representation moderated the association between childhood adversity and telomere length. Participants included 78 young adults (M age = 20.46, SD = 1.57), who reported on their exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and were administered the Adult Attachment Interview, which was coded for attachment state of mind. Relative telomere length was assayed from buccal cells. Multiple regression analyses revealed a significant interaction between attachment state of mind and ACE in predicting telomere length. Whereas the association between number of ACE and telomere length was nonsignificant for secure–autonomous, r (50) = –.15, p = .31, and insecure–preoccupied young adults, r (9) = –.15, p = .71, there was a strong negative association between number of ACE and telomere length for insecure–dismissing young adults, r (19) = –.59, p = .007. This study is novel in demonstrating that attachment may affect biological resilience following childhood adversity, contributing to the growing literature about the role of the quality of early caregiving experiences and their representations in shaping biological processes and physical health.

Parental responsiveness moderates the association between early-life stress and reduced telomere length / Arun ASOK in Development and Psychopathology, 25-3 (August 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 25-3 (August 2013) . - p.577-585 Titre : Parental responsiveness moderates the association between early-life stress and reduced telomere length Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Arun ASOK, Auteur ; K. BERNARD, Auteur ; T. L. ROTH, Auteur ; J. B. ROSEN, Auteur ; M. DOZIER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.577-585 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Early-life stress, such as maltreatment, institutionalization, and exposure to violence, is associated with accelerated telomere shortening. Telomere shortening may thus represent a biomarker of early adversity. Previous studies have suggested that responsive parenting may protect children from the negative biological and behavioral consequences of early adversity. This study examined the role of parental responsiveness in buffering children from telomere shortening following experiences of early-life stress. We found that high-risk children had significantly shorter telomeres than low-risk children, controlling for household income, birth weight, gender, and minority status. Further, parental responsiveness moderated the association between risk and telomere length, with more responsive parenting associated with longer telomeres only among high-risk children. These findings suggest that responsive parenting may have protective benefits on telomere shortening for young children exposed to early-life stress. Therefore, this study has important implications for early parenting interventions.
