Abstract：
Past findings have suggested that there is a link between attachment representations and reactions towards stress (subjective and physiological). The aim of this study was to examine the mediating effect of perceived stress on the association between attachment representation and physiological changes, specifically heart rate. As part of a long-term study investigating the transgenerational transmission of childhood maltreatment, n = 163 mothers participated in multiple assessments. The Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP) was used to measure maternal attachment representation, categorizing individuals as securely or insecurely attached. Perceived daily stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale 14 (PSS-14), and maternal baseline heart rate (HR) was measured via electrocardiography during a laboratory visit. The results revealed that the representation of secure attachment had a significant reducing effect on both the mother\'s perceived daily stress and heart rate. Furthermore, the association between secure attachment representation and heart rate was mediated by perceived stress. This study emphasizes the role of attachment representation in maternal well-being, highlighting its impact on stress and physiological responses.
摘要：
过去的研究结果表明，依恋表现与对压力（主观和生理）的反应之间存在联系。这项研究的目的是研究感知压力对依恋表现与生理变化之间关联的中介作用，特别是心率。作为调查儿童虐待的跨代传播的长期研究的一部分，n=163名母亲参加了多次评估。成人依恋投影图片系统（AAP）用于测量母亲依恋表示，将个人归类为安全或不安全的附着。使用感知压力量表14(PSS-14)评估感知每日压力，在实验室访视期间通过心电图测量母体基线心率(HR).结果表明，安全依恋的表现对母亲的日常压力和心率都有显着的降低作用。此外，安全依恋表征与心率之间的关联是由感知压力介导的.这项研究强调了依恋表征在母亲幸福感中的作用，强调其对应激和生理反应的影响。
