Current theorizing proposes that interoception consists of several dimensions: interoceptive accuracy, sensibility, and metacognitive awareness. From an attachment perspective, attachment representations are proposed to shape self-regulation across the lifespan, and are thus expected to influence the processing of bodily signals. We investigated the association between attachment representations and dimensions of interoception in an adult sample (N = 116, Mage = 40.43). Attachment was assessed using the Adult Attachment Interview. A heartbeat counting task with confidence ratings measured interoceptive accuracy, sensibility, and awareness. Analyses revealed that Coherence of Transcript and attachment category positively predicted interoceptive accuracy, but not sensibility or awareness. This pattern suggests that attachment-related processes primarily operate at the level of first-order bodily signal detection rather than metacognitive evaluation or beliefs.","PeriodicalId":8632,"journal":{"name":"Attachment & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"441-459"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148262948","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 examined associations among mothers' responses to Black teens' distress, teens' perceptions of their mothers as a secure base, and teens' emotional functioning.

Predictors included maternal history of childhood maltreatment, family functioning, prenatal psychopathology, child temperament, genetic predisposition to psychopathology, marital status, and education. Linear mixed-effects models revealed that no maternal, child, or contextual characteristics predicted baseline levels or linear changes in maternal sensitivity from ages 1 to 10 after correcting for multiple testing. However, post-hoc analysis identified a nonlinear decline in sensitivity, ocurring primarily during the child's first four years.
