This chapter describes theory and research on intergenerational connections between parents' attachment and children's social information processing, as well as between parents' social information processing and children's attachment. The chapter begins with a discussion of attachment theorists' early insights into the role that social information processing plays in attachment processes. Next, current theory about the mechanisms through which cross-generational links between attachment and social information processing might emerge is presented. The central proposition is that the quality of attachment and/or the social information processing of the parent contributes to the quality of attachment and/or social information processing in the child, and these links emerge through mediating processes related to social learning, open communication, gate-keeping, emotion regulation, and joint attention. A comprehensive review of the literature is then presented. The chapter ends with the presentation of a current theoretical perspective and suggestions for future empirical and clinical endeavors.
本章介绍了父母依恋与儿童社会信息处理之间以及父母社会信息处理与儿童依恋之间代际联系的理论和研究。本章首先讨论了依恋理论家早期对社会信息处理在依恋过程中所起作用的见解。接下来，提出了当前关于依恋和社会信息处理之间跨代联系可能出现的机制的理论。中心命题是，依恋的质量和/或父母的社会信息处理质量有助于儿童的依恋和/或社会信息处理质量，这些联系通过与社会学习、开放沟通、把关、情绪调节和共同关注相关的中介过程出现。然后对文献进行了全面回顾。最后提出了当前的理论观点，并为未来的实证和临床努力提出了建议。
