Abstract:
Understanding the interplay between attachment style, emotional processing, and neural responses is crucial for comprehending the diverse ways individuals function socially and emotionally. While previous research has contributed to our knowledge of how attachment style influences emotional processing, there is still a gap in the literature when it comes to investigating emotional feedback using event-related potentials (ERPs) within a cognitive framework. This study aims to address this gap by examining the effects of attachment style and feedback valence on ERP components, specifically focusing on the P200 and P400. The findings reveal significant effects of attachment style and feedback valence on both components. In insecure attachment styles, noticeable shifts in relative energy are observed during the transition from negative to positive feedback for both the P200 and P400. Conversely, individuals with secure attachment styles exhibit minimal to moderate variations in relative energy, consistently maintaining a lower P200 energy level. Additionally, both secure and insecure individuals demonstrate heightened intensity in the P400 component in response to positive feedback. These findings underscore the influential role of attachment style in shaping emotional reactivity and regulation, emphasizing the significance of attachment theory in understanding individual differences in social and emotional functioning. This study provides novel insights into the neural mechanisms underlying the influence of attachment style on emotional processing within the context of cognitive task performance. Future research should consider diverse participant samples, employ objective measures of attachment, and utilize longitudinal designs to further explore the neural processes associated with attachment.
摘要:
理解依恋风格之间的相互作用,情绪处理,神经反应对于理解个人在社会和情感上的不同功能至关重要。虽然先前的研究有助于我们了解依恋风格如何影响情绪处理,在认知框架内使用事件相关电位(ERPs)研究情绪反馈的文献中仍存在空白.本研究旨在通过检查依恋风格和反馈效价对ERP组件的影响来解决这一差距,特别关注P200和P400。研究结果揭示了依恋方式和反馈效价对这两个组成部分的显着影响。在不安全的附件样式中,在P200和P400从负反馈到正反馈的过渡期间观察到相对能量的明显变化。相反,具有安全依恋风格的个体在相对能量方面表现出最小到中等的变化,始终保持较低的P200能量水平。此外,安全和不安全的个体在P400组件中表现出更高的强度,以响应积极的反馈。这些发现强调了依恋风格在塑造情绪反应和调节方面的重要作用,强调依恋理论在理解社会和情感功能的个体差异方面的意义。这项研究为认知任务表现背景下依恋风格对情绪加工影响的神经机制提供了新的见解。未来的研究应该考虑不同的参与者样本,采用客观的依恋措施,并利用纵向设计进一步探索与依恋相关的神经过程。
