The cross-generational influence of attachment security or insecurity on caregiving is well-established. Recently, research has focused on mindfulness as a potential variable to interrupt the transmission of insecure attachment and disrupt its effect across generations. Thirty-six pregnant female participants completed the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire and Relationship Questionnaire-Clinical Version at 30 weeks' gestation. Following the infant's birth, mothers and their babies participated in a video-recorded feeding session at 7 to 10 weeks' postpartum. It was predicted that a secure attachment style and higher levels of mindfulness measured prenatally would be associated with greater maternal responsiveness postpartum. The hypothesis was supported for both the secure and insecure (fearful and profoundly distrustful) attachment styles. Mindfulness did not mediate the relationship between attachment and maternal distress. The mindfulness subscale Non-Reacting was significantly associated with maternal response to distress. These findings support the role of prenatal mindfulness skills and attachment security for later postnatal maternal sensitivity to baby.
依恋安全性或不安全性对养育的跨代影响已得到充分证实。最近，研究聚焦于正念，将其作为一个潜在变量，以中断不安全依恋的传递并打破其跨代影响。36名怀孕女性参与者在妊娠30周时完成了五因素正念问卷和临床版关系问卷。婴儿出生后，母亲及其婴儿在产后7至10周参加了一次录像喂食环节。研究预测，产前测量的安全依恋风格和更高水平的正念将与产后更高的母亲反应性相关。该假设在安全和不安全（恐惧和极度不信任）依恋风格中均得到支持。正念并未调节依恋与母亲痛苦之间的关系。正念分量表“无反应”与母亲对痛苦的反应显著相关。这些发现支持了产前正念技能和依恋安全性对产后母亲对婴儿敏感性的作用。
