“…Nevertheless, large-scale longitudinal studies and several meta-analyses have indicated that the magnitude of associations between childhood experiences with attachment figures and adolescent/adult representations of attachment is weaker than was widely assumed (e.g., Atkinson et al, 2000; Groh et al, 2014; Steele et al, 2014; de Wolff & van IJzendoorn, 1997), even when findings can be interpreted as being consistent with a causal effect of maternal sensitivity on attachment security (Bakermans-Kranenberg, Juffer, & van IJzendoorn, 2003). Effects of even weaker magnitudes have been reported when measures of attachment security obtained during infancy/toddlerhood are used as predictors of mental representations of attachment during adolescence and adulthood in large-scale longitudinal studies (e.g., Sroufe et al, 2005; Steele et al, 2014). …”

Although attachment theory claims that early attachment representations reflecting the quality of the child’s “lived experiences” are maintained across developmental transitions, evidence that has emerged over the last decade suggests that the association between early relationship quality and adolescents’ attachment representations is fairly modest in magnitude. We used aspects of parenting beyond sensitivity over childhood and adolescence and early security to predict adolescents’ scripted attachment representations. At age 18 years, 673 participants from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD) completed the Attachment Script Assessment (ASA) from which we derived an assessment of secure base script knowledge. Measures of secure base support from childhood through age 15 years (e.g., parental monitoring of child activity, father presence in the home) were selected as predictors and accounted for an additional 8% of the variance in secure base script knowledge scores above and beyond direct observations of sensitivity and early attachment status alone, suggesting that adolescents’ scripted attachment representations reflect multiple domains of parenting. Cognitive and demographic variables also significantly increased predicted variance in secure base script knowledge by 2% each.

“…Al respecto, hay evidencias de que la sensibilidad, tanto materna como paterna, son precedentes importantes para un guion de base segura en la adultez (Hesse & Main, 2000;Steele et al, 2014;Waters et al, 2013;Waters & Rodrigues-Doolabh, 1998;Waters & Cummings, 2000). Estudios previos han demostrado niveles bajos de sensibilidad materna en diversos grupos socioeconómicos del contexto peruano (Nóblega, 2012; Nóblega, Bárrig, Núñez del Prado & Conde, investigación en curso).…”

“…En el campo del apego adulto hay diferentes perspectivas para acceder al estudio de estas representaciones (Steele et al, 2014). Por un lado, es posible analizar la narrativa de la persona como en la Entrevista del Apego Adulto (AAI, por sus siglas en inglés) o determinar los niveles de ansiedad y evitación de un individuo como dimensiones de su estilo de apego (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007) o evaluar la inclusión del fenó-meno de base segura en sus guiones (Waters & Rodrigues-Doolabh, 1998;Waters et al, 2015).…”

Este estudio evalúa la capacidad predictiva de variables sociodemográficas de la madre sobre sus guiones de base segura. Participaron 83 madres de 15 a 45 años de edad (M = 24.72, DE = 8.70). El nivel de base segura materno fue evaluado a través de las Narrativas de Apego Adulto . Los resultados muestran que las participantes no cuentan con un adecuado nivel de base segura. Se encontró que la interacción entre la edad y el nivel de instrucción materno explica en parte el nivel de base segura de las madres (R 2 = .19). Se postula el rol protector del nivel de instrucción para que las madres mayores, tengan un mayor nivel de base segura en sus guiones. Palabras clave: guión de base segura, edad, nivel educativo 1 Esta investigación incluye los datos de dos estudios, uno financiado por la Dirección de Gestión de la Investigación de la PUCP, a través de la subvención DGI 70243.0022. El otro fue co-financiado por el Research

“…Waters & Rodrigues-Doolabh, 2001; Dykas, Woodhouse, Cassidy, & Waters, 2006). Narratives that conform more closely to the secure base script are associated with attachment security, as measured both in the AAI and with self-reported attachment styles (Dykas et al, 2006; Mikulincer, Shaver, Sapir-Lavid, & Avihou-Kanza, 2009), and with the quality of the early caregiver-child relationship (Steele et al, 2014) as well as with continued parental support throughout childhood and adolescence (Vaughn et al, 2016). …”

Insecure attachment styles have consistently been identified as risk factors for adolescent psychopathology and, more specifically, suicidal ideation. However, much less is known about the mechanisms that account for the relationship between attachment styles and severity of suicidal ideation within clinical samples. In the current study, adolescents’ expectancies for caregiver availability and responsiveness were coded from transcripts of the Suicide Narrative Interview in a clinical sample of one hundred and twenty-nine depressed and suicidal adolescents. Results indicated that negative expectancies for caregiver availability in the Suicide Narrative Interview were associated both with attachment insecurity and with the intensity of adolescents’ suicidal ideation. The implications of adolescents’ expectancies for caregiver availability as targets for clinical intervention are discussed.
