To increase our understanding of the cognitive processes involved in internal working models of attachment, this study investigated the relationship between secure attachment and attentional breadth to mother using a dual task design. The content of the cues (mother vs. unfamiliar women) and the duration of the presentation of the cues (34 msec, 100 msec, and 250 msec) were varied. The test was administered to 40 elementary school children between 9 and 12 years of age. As predicted, less securely attached children had a more narrow attentional field around mother at 34 msec. Lower levels of maternal autonomy support were similarly linked with a more narrow attentional field. In conformity with attachment theory, this effect was fully mediated by the child's level of trust toward mother.
为了增进我们对依恋内部工作模式所涉及的认知过程的理解，本研究采用双重任务设计，考察了安全依恋与对母亲的注意广度之间的关系。线索的内容（母亲与不熟悉的女性）和线索呈现的时长（34 毫秒、100 毫秒和 250 毫秒）都有所变化。该测试在 9 至 12 岁的 40 名小学生中进行。正如预测的那样，在 34 毫秒时，依恋安全性较低的儿童对母亲的注意力范围较窄。较低水平的母亲自主性支持也与更窄的注意力范围有关。与依恋理论一致，这种效应完全由儿童对母亲的信任程度所中介。
