Understanding hostile intent attribution (HIA) seems important for prevention of problems in social adaptation. This study aimed to explore whether HIA in childhood is determined by both a cognitive factor (i.e. intellectual disability) and an affective factor (i.e. attachment representations). One hundred and eight 8- to 12-year-old children (54 with intellectual disability and 54 with typical development) passed the Attachment Story Completion Task and the Intention Attribution Test for Children. Results indicated that in ambiguous situations, attachment disorganization was associated with HIA, whereas intellectual disability was not. In nonintentional situations, both attachment hyperactivation and intellectual disability were linked with HIA. These results highlight the importance of helping children develop organized attachment representations and optimal activation of their attachment system to prevent social maladaptation.
理解敌意归因（HIA）似乎对预防社交适应问题很重要。本研究旨在探讨儿童时期的 HIA 是否由认知因素（即智力障碍）和情感因素（即依恋表征）共同决定。108 名 8 至 12 岁的儿童（54 名智力障碍，54 名典型发育）通过了依恋故事补全任务和儿童意图归因测试。结果表明，在模棱两可的情况下，依恋失组织与 HIA 有关，而智力障碍则无关。在非故意情况下，依恋过度激活和智力障碍都与 HIA 有关。这些结果强调了帮助儿童发展有组织的依恋表征和优化依恋系统激活以预防社交适应不良的重要性。
