Mothers were given five vignettes describing hypothetical stressful situations involving their children. They reported the extent to which they expected their children would be distressed; they also reported the extent to which they themselves would cope effectively, would experience varied negative emotions, and would show emotionally focused, distancing, or child-supportive responses. Mothers were then given the Experience in Close Relationships–Revised questionnaire to assess their attachment style. Mothers' higher avoidant attachment was associated with expectations of less effective coping, increased distancing responses and decreased emotionally focused and child-supportive responses. Less effective coping mediated the link between higher avoidant attachment and decreased support of the children. Mothers' higher anxious attachment was associated with expectations of increased children's distress and their own less effective coping, increased negative emotions, and increased distancing and emotionally focused responses. Negative emotions mediated the link between higher anxious attachment and increased emotionally focused responses. Thus, mothers' information processing of stressful situations involving their children may be colored by their adult attachment experiences. Highlights: Mothers' attachment style was associated with their information processing of hypothetical stressful situations involving their child. Expectations of less effective coping mediated the link between avoidant attachment and decreased likelihood of child-supportive responses. Expectations of increased negative emotions mediated the association of anxious attachment with increased likelihood of emotionally focused responses. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
