Impact of adult attachment style on bonding mediated by depression and anxiety across the perinatal period
Background
Few studies have investigated relationships among adult attachment style, depression, anxiety, and prenatal mother-to-fetus/postnatal mother-to-infant bonding in perinatal women, with varied findings. We examined the direct effects of adult attachment style on bonding as well as indirect effects via depression and anxiety.
Methods
In this prospective observational, longitudinal cohort study, 1897 Japanese perinatal women were recruited from 34 obstetric institutions in Niigata Prefecture. Adult attachment was assessed at T1 (early pregnancy), with depression/anxiety and bonding assessed at T1, T2 (late pregnancy), and T3 (postpartum). We used parallel process latent growth curve modeling to examine direct effects of the T1 adult attachment style on bonding across the perinatal period, as well as the mediating roles of depression and anxiety over three time points.
Results
No significant direct effects of adult attachment on bonding trajectories were observed. However, significant indirect effects were found, suggesting that adult attachment style influenced both the initial levels and change in bonding via its impact on the developmental trajectories of both depression and anxiety, with distinct roles for each mediator. The model fit was good to acceptable.
Limitations
This study was limited by reliance on self-report measures, geographically restricted samples, and the absence of long-term follow-up.
Conclusion
We found that the impact of adult attachment style on bonding was mediated by depression and anxiety across the perinatal period. Early screening and intervention for depressive and anxiety symptoms related to the mother's attachment toward her romantic partner is essential to prevent bonding difficulties.
