“Early attachment to mothers and fathers”
Author discusses the findings of previous researches and theoretical perspectives. They suggest that
father-child interactions can provide more opportunities for learning ER skills in emotionally
motivating situations. They also state that having a secure attachment to one parent may impact the
attachment with the other parent
“Child emotion regulation mediates the association...”
The author discusses the implications of the information they found regarding the tripartite model
and the preventing and treatment of internalizing disorders in young people. They highlight the
importance of targeting parent emotion regulation and mental health, emotion-related parenting
behaviours, and family emotional climate in interventions to promote healthy emotion regulation
and better mental health in younger people
“Attachment style mediates the relationship between...”
The paper states and concludes that attachment insecurity is a significant factor in expression of
somatic distress among individuals with trauma histories and severe mental illness. Addressing
attachment styles and mentalization capacities may enhance the treatment of somatic distress and
improve the quality of life of these individuals. The importance of considering social-cognitive
factors in the intervention of trauma-related disorders is highlighted
“Masculine voices predict attachment style...”
The paper searches for association between sexually dimorphic vocal properties (voice pitch and F0
variation) and attachment styles among straight individuals in romantic relationships. The paper
eventually concludes in the discussion, that men with more masculine voices, the individuals with
the lower F0 variation, are more avoidantly attached and use less constructive communication
patterns than men with feminine voices. (Page 5 – Line 16 and Page 5 – Line 9). It discusses the
possible explanations for these, such as the role of testosterone, mate value, and sexual selection.
The paper concludes with noting that further research should replicate these results across different
populations (currently Chinese)
“Attachment styles, self-esteem, flexible goal adjustment...”
The authors of this paper examine how attachment styles, self-esteem and flexible goal adjustment
(FGA) affect women’s satisfaction in romantic relationships. They propose a model in which selfesteem is the middle point between attachment styles and relationship satisfaction, FGA moderates
this effect. The discussion and results support the previously mentioned model and suggest that selfesteem plays an important role in linking attachment styles and relationship satisfaction together.
They also state that FGA influences the strength of self-esteem, quote “Therefore, individuals with
high FGA are probably more willing to take relationship-promoting actions, which results in higher
relationship satisfaction.” Quote close, and quote “it would be more effective to boost self-esteem
for women with high FGA as compared to those with low FGA.” Quote close. (Page 11 – Line 26 and
Page 11 – Line 30)
