The sample included 61 foster children, aged 33 to 90 months, and their foster mothers. Higher overall sensitivity, greater supportive presence, and lower hostility of foster mothers were associated with higher attachment security. Supportive presence emerged as a protective factor for attachment security in the context of externalizing behavioral problems. Cluster analysis identified three distinct parenting profiles. Children whose caregivers demonstrated high supportive presence, high respect for autonomy, and low hostility showed the highest attachment security. In contrast, parental hostility was consistently associated with lower security and emerged as a detrimental factor. The findings suggest that interventions for foster families should prioritize both enhancing parental sensitivity and reducing hostility. Moreover, foster parents of children with externalizing behavioral problems may require additional support and training.","PeriodicalId":8632,"journal":{"name":"Attachment & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147697377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixty-one mother-infant dyads from a longitudinal study participated. Maternal sensitivity was assessed during mother-child interactions at 12 and 42 months, while EC was measured at 42 months using a multitask behavioral battery. Generalized estimating equations modeled the relationships, controlling for gestational age, neonatal risk, and family socioeconomic disadvantage. Maternal sensitivity at 42 months was concurrently associated with higher EC. The longitudinal link between sensitivity at 12 months and EF was not significant. However, in mothers with high sensitivity at 12 months, sensitivity at 42 months was associated with EC, whereas no association was observed in the low-sensitivity subgroup. These findings suggest that the stability of maternal sensitivity from early infancy may influence the development of EC in preterm children, highlighting potential targets for future research and early interventions.","PeriodicalId":8632,"journal":{"name":"Attachment & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147670102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated maternal and child responsiveness as parallel mediators linking early attachment security to later SR, assessed within and outside mother-child relationships, with 186 low-income mother-child dyads. Attachment security was assessed using the Attachment Q-Set at 2.5 years, maternal and child responsiveness were observed during mother-child interactions at 3.5 years, and SR was measured at 7 years as mother-related (internalized compliance) and decontextualized (set-shifting tasks). Results demonstrated that both maternal and child responsiveness mediated the relations between attachment security and mother-related SR. Indirect relations were non-significant or weaker for decontextualized SR. Findings highlight the importance of mutually responsive interactions, with a particular focus on children's active contributions, in accounting for links between early parent-child relationships and later relational regulatory capacities.","PeriodicalId":8632,"journal":{"name":"Attachment & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147637836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mothers classified as dismissing or unresolved reported significantly higher parenthood regret than those classified as secure-autonomous or preoccupied. Unresolved abuse, but not unresolved loss, was significantly associated with higher parenthood regret. Mediation analyses indicated that greater AAI coherence of mind was associated with lower parenthood regret both directly and indirectly through higher RF. Overall, the findings support two attachment-related pathways to parenthood regret─fear of repetition/trauma (unresolved abuse) and defensive exclusion/identification (dismissing)─and highlight the clinical value of tailoring interventions to mothers' attachment states of mind. Specifically, interventions may focus on trauma integration for mothers with unresolved representations, increasing affect access for those with dismissing representations, and strengthening mentalization across groups.","PeriodicalId":8632,"journal":{"name":"Attachment & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"163-184"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146206712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We measured child, maternal, and family-related variables with validated questionnaires when infants were M = 2.94 months and attachment (dis)organization with the Strange Situation Procedure at M = 13.84 months. Lasso regression identified relevant predictors and classification trees explored their interactions. Classification trees achieved moderate overall accuracy (.65).
