Abstract

Children's attachments to their parents may help regulate their hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axes. Prior research has largely focused on children with relatively consistent and low-risk caregiving histories, resulting in limited knowledge about the associations between attachment quality and HPA axis reactivity among children who have experienced early adversity. This study investigated whether dimensional measures of attachment quality were associated with HPA responses to the Strange Situation Procedure (SSP) among 64 children ages 11-33 months adopted internationally from institutional or foster care. Children who showed high levels of attachment avoidance exhibited a blunted cortisol response during the SSP. Conversely, children who sought proximity and contact with their adoptive parents exhibited an increase in cortisol reactivity during the SSP, followed by a return to baseline levels after the completion of the procedure. This association was independent of the previously reported association between parental insensitivity and blunted cortisol responses in this sample.

国际收养的幼儿在陌生环境中的依恋维度和皮质醇反应。
儿童对父母的依恋可能有助于调节他们的下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺(HPA)轴。之前的研究主要集中在具有相对稳定和低风险照料历史的儿童身上,因此对经历过早期逆境的儿童的依恋质量与 HPA 轴反应性之间的关联了解有限。本研究调查了 64 名从福利院或寄养家庭被国际收养的 11-33 个月大的儿童中,依恋质量的维度测量是否与 HPA 对陌生情境程序(SSP)的反应有关。表现出高度依恋回避的儿童在 SSP 中表现出皮质醇反应减弱。相反,寻求与养父母亲近和接触的儿童在 SSP 过程中表现出皮质醇反应性的增加,并在程序完成后恢复到基线水平。在该样本中,这种关联与之前报道的父母不敏感与皮质醇反应减弱之间的关联无关。
