Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969) and its limitations are first described. Next, emotional availability (EA; Biringen et al., 1998; Biringen, 2008) is introduced as an expansion upon the original conceptualization of the parent-child attachment relationship. As a construct and as a measure, EA considers the dyadic and emotional qualities of adult-child relationships. EA is predictive of a variety of child outcomes, such as attachment security, emotion regulation, and school readiness. Recently developed programs to enhance adult-child EA are described.
首先描述依恋理论(鲍尔比,1969)及其局限性。接下来,引入情感可及性(EA;比林根等人,1998;比林根,2008),作为对亲子依恋关系原始概念化的扩展。作为一种结构和一种测量方法,情感可及性考虑了成人与儿童关系中的二元情感特质。情感可及性能够预测多种儿童发展结果,如依恋安全性、情绪调节能力和入学准备情况。文中还描述了最近开发的增强成人与儿童情感可及性的项目。
