Titre : Attachment state of mind and childhood experiences of maltreatment as predictors of sensitive care from infancy through middle childhood: Results from a longitudinal study of parents involved with Child Protective Services Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lindsay ZAJAC, Auteur ; K. Lee RABY, Auteur ; Mary DOZIER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.113-125 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current longitudinal study examined whether attachment states of mind and childhood maltreatment predict sensitive caregiving during infancy, early childhood, and middle childhood among a sample of 178 parents who were involved with Child Protective Services. Nearly all the parents had themselves experienced childhood maltreatment based on their reports on the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire—Short Form (Bernstein et al., 2003) when their children were infants. Adult Attachment Interviews (George, Kaplan, & Main, 1985) were administered to parents when their children were infants (M = 10.92 months, SD = 8.66). Parental sensitivity was rated based on observations of parent–child interactions at three time points: infancy, early childhood, and middle childhood. During infancy, dismissing states of mind of parents predicted marginally lower sensitivity scores than autonomous states of mind. In early and middle childhood, dismissing states of mind of parents predicted significantly lower sensitivity ratings than autonomous states of mind. Unresolved states of mind of parents predicted significantly lower sensitivity scores than autonomous states of mind only during early childhood. Childhood maltreatment was not significantly associated with parents’ sensitivity ratings at all three time points. Findings suggest that among parents with Child Protective Services involvement, most of whom had themselves experienced maltreatment, parents’ unresolved states of mind predict insensitive caregiving in early childhood, and parents’ dismissing states of mind predict insensitive caregiving from infancy through middle childhood.

Titre : Increasing secure base script knowledge among parents with Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : K. Lee RABY, Auteur ; Theodore E. A. WATERS, Auteur ; Alexandra R. TABACHNICK, Auteur ; Lindsay ZAJAC, Auteur ; Mary DOZIER, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p.554-564 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attachment representations early intervention parental sensitivity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study evaluated whether Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC), a parenting intervention, altered the attachment representations of parents (average age of 34.2 years) who had been referred to Child Protective Services (CPS) due to risk for child maltreatment when their children were infants. Approximately 7 years after completing the intervention, parents who had been randomized to receive ABC (n = 43) exhibited greater secure base script knowledge than parents who had been randomized to receive a control intervention (n = 51). Low-risk parents (n = 79) exhibited greater secure base script knowledge than CPS-referred parents who had received a control intervention. However, levels of secure base script knowledge did not differ between low-risk parents and CPS-referred parents who had received the ABC intervention. In addition, secure base script knowledge was positively associated with parental sensitivity during interactions with their 8-year-old children among low-risk and CPS-referred parents. Mediational analyses supported the idea that the ABC intervention enhanced parents' sensitivity 7 years later indirectly via increases in parents' secure base script knowledge.

Titre : Respiratory sinus arrhythmia as a moderator of early maltreatment effects on later externalizing problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alexandra R. TABACHNICK, Auteur ; Christina MOORE, Auteur ; K. Lee RABY, Auteur ; Alison GOLDSTEIN, Auteur ; Lindsay ZAJAC, Auteur ; Mary DOZIER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.821-831 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : maltreatment psychophysiology RSA Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Physiological regulation may interact with early experiences such as maltreatment to increase risk for behavior problems. In the current study, we investigate the role of parasympathetic nervous system regulation (respiratory sinus arrhythmia [RSA] at rest and in response to a frustration task) as a moderator of the association between early risk for maltreatment (i.e., involvement with Child Protective Services; CPS) and externalizing behavior problems in middle childhood. CPS involvement was associated with elevated externalizing problems, but only among children with average to high RSA at rest and average to high RSA withdrawal in response to frustration. Effects appeared to be specific to CPS involvement as the association between cumulative risk (i.e., nonmaltreatment experiences of early adversity) and externalizing problems was not significantly moderated by RSA activity. These findings are consistent with the theoretical idea that the consequences of early maltreatment for later externalizing behavior problems depend on children's biological regulation abilities.

Titre : Sustained effects on attachment security in middle childhood: results from a randomized clinical trial of the Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) intervention Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lindsay ZAJAC, Auteur ; K. Lee RABY, Auteur ; Mary DOZIER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.417-424 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attachment Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up Child Protective Services intervention middle childhood Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Interventions have been developed to promote the development of secure and organized attachments during early childhood among children who have experienced early adversity, yet little is known about whether the effects of these early interventions are sustained beyond 12 months postintervention. The current study examined whether receiving the Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC) intervention during infancy led to improvements in perceived attachment security in middle childhood among 100 Child Protective Services (CPS)-referred children. METHODS: Children and parents were randomized to receive ABC or a control intervention during infancy. Children completed the Kerns Security Scale at age nine (Mage = 9.46, SD = 0.36). (Trial Registry Name: Intervening Early with Neglected Children; Registry ID: NCT02093052; URL for registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02093052?term=dozier&rank=1). RESULTS: Children whose parents received ABC reported higher levels of attachment security on the Kerns Security Scale at age nine than children whose parents had received the control intervention, t(98) = 2.31, p = .023, d = 0.49. CONCLUSIONS: Findings underscore the long-term benefits of intervening early to promote caregiving quality among at-risk families and demonstrate the efficacy of a brief 10-session intervention in promoting attachment security over the span of eight years in a sample of CPS-referred children.
