The authors observed seven infants who had a manic-depressive parent longitudinally in a structured laboratory setting with their mothers at ages 12, 15, and 18 months. The infants' attachment and affiliative behaviors and the patterning of their affective responses were assessed according to systematic measures and compared with those of a matched control group. The proband infants appeared to show a disturbance in the quality of their attachments to their mothers as well as a generalized disturbance in their capacities to regulate their emotions adaptively. There appeared to be an increasing severity of disturbance with increasing age. The authors discuss the implications of these findings.
作者在结构化实验室环境中，对7名患有躁郁症的父母的婴儿，在其12个月、15个月和18个月大时与其母亲进行了纵向观察。根据系统测量方法评估婴儿的依恋和亲和行为以及他们情感反应的模式，并与匹配的对照组进行比较。先证者婴儿似乎在与母亲的依恋质量上表现出紊乱，以及在适应性调节情绪的能力上普遍存在紊乱。随着年龄增长，紊乱的严重程度似乎在增加。作者讨论了这些发现的意义。
