This study examined short-term attachment stability and sought to identify predictors of stability and change within a sample characterized by fathers' alcoholism. Results suggest moderate stability of attachment classifications (60% for mothers, 53% for fathers) from 12 to 18 months. Higher paternal and maternal alcohol symptoms, maternal depression, and maternal antisocial behavior were found in families with stable insecure mother-infant attachment compared to those who were stable secure. Mother-infant stable insecurity was associated with higher levels of maternal negative affect expression during play. Father-infant stable insecurity was associated with lower levels of paternal positive affect expression and decreased sensitivity during play. Stable insecure children also had higher levels of negative affect during parent-infant interactions and higher negative emotionality during other episodes compared to stable secure children. Results indicate that infants who were insecure at both time points had the highest constellation of family risk characteristics.
本研究考察了短期依恋稳定性，并试图在以父亲酗酒为特征的样本中确定稳定性和变化的预测因素。结果表明，依恋分类在12至18个月时有适度的稳定性（母亲为60%，父亲为53%）。与稳定安全型家庭相比，稳定不安全型母婴依恋家庭中，父亲和母亲的酒精症状、母亲抑郁及母亲反社会行为水平更高。母婴稳定不安全型与游戏过程中母亲更高水平的消极情绪表达相关。父子稳定不安全型与游戏过程中父亲较低水平的积极情绪表达及敏感性降低相关。与稳定安全型儿童相比，稳定不安全型儿童在母婴互动中也有更高水平的消极情绪，在其他时段有更高的负性情绪。结果表明，在两个时间点均为不安全型的婴儿具有最高的家庭风险特征组合。
