The role of maternal attachment representations in mother-child reminiscing and children's self concept was assessed in a sample of 31 New Zealand mothers and their 5.5-year-old children. Mothers participated in the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; Main, Goldwyn, & Hesse, 2002) and reminisced about everyday past events with their children. Children participated in the Children's Self View Questionnaire (Eder, 1990) to measure interpersonal and intrapersonal aspects of their self concept. Maternal coherence on the AAI was positively correlated with mothers' elaborative reminiscing and with interpersonal aspects of children's self concept. Mothers' states of mind with respect to attachment may enable open and elaborative reminiscing with their children, and may also indirectly lead to children's self-concept development.
在31位新西兰母亲及其5.5岁孩子的样本中，评估了母亲依恋表征在母子回忆及孩子自我概念中的作用。母亲们参与了成人依恋访谈（AAI；梅因、戈德温与黑塞，2002年），并与孩子一起回忆过去的日常事件。孩子们参与了儿童自我观点问卷（埃德尔，1990年），以测量其自我概念的人际和个人内在方面。母亲在AAI上的连贯性与母亲详尽的回忆以及孩子自我概念的人际方面呈正相关。母亲关于依恋的心理状态可能使她们能够与孩子进行开放且详尽的回忆，并且也可能间接导致孩子自我概念的发展。
