Attachment-based parent-adolescent interaction linked to visual attention and autonomic arousal to distress and comfort stimuli.

ABSTRACT: In infancy and in the early years of life, emotion regulation and attachment relationships with parents are tightly intertwined. However, whether this link persists into adolescence has not yet been established and requires exploration. This pilot study utilizes an experimental design to assess the patterns of parent-adolescent interactions that are hypothesised to be related to two specific aspects of adolescents' emotion regulation, namely: visual attention and autonomic arousal to distress and comfort stimuli. Two innovative and ecologically valid methodologies were utilized to assess (a) patterns of attachment-based parent-adolescent interactions among 39 adolescent-parent dyads from the general population, using the Goal-corrected Partnership in Adolescence Coding System (Lyons-Ruth e
