Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The relationship between attachment style (AS) and parent-child psychosocial adjustment was examined. (1) A study of 14 ADHD children and their parents found that parents with interpersonal difficulties in parental AS exhibited stronger depressive symptoms and their children had lower self-esteem. (2) A survey of 58 pairs of ASD children and their parents suggested that the non-reassurance of parental AS may intensify parental depressive symptoms and amplify parenting difficulties. (3) In a survey of 21 pairs of ASD children and their parents, 62% of ASD children had secure AS, suggesting that parents and children with insecure AS had stronger depressive symptoms and that attachment security may influence depressive symptoms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年、発達障がい児・者の増加が指摘されているが、発達障がい傾向を有する子どもの中にアタッチメントの問題を抱えた子どもが含まれていることが指摘されている。また、養育者のなかには心理教育的支援が奏功しない場合があり、背景に親子の関係性の問題が示唆されている。しかし、我が国ではこれらについての実証的な研究は少なく、親子のアタッチメントを客観的に測定した本研究は学術的意義がある。また、本研究成果は、育てにくい子を持つ養育者の子育て支援を親子の関係性から捉え、アタッチメント・スタイルに配慮した育児支援アプローチを構築するための一助として期待できる。
