Parent-child Attachment Working Models and self-esteem in adolescence
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1994Co-Authors: Cynthia B. Mccormick, Janice H KennedyAbstract:The degree of continuity over time in the quality of parent-child Attachments and the relationship between these Attachments and current self-esteem was investigated. Subjects were 218 nonparent college students. The Attachment Working Model styles were determined by modified versions of two Attachment measures. Epstein's Mother-Father-Peer Scale of 1983 yielded separate scores for independence-encouraging and acceptance, and Hazan and Shaver's 1987 Rocky Mountain Survey indicated secure, avoidant, or ambivalent Attachment patterns. Self-esteem was measured by Coopersmith's Self-Esteem Inventory of 1967. Data collected indicated support for Bowlby's 1988 theory of continuity over time of Attachment. Self-esteem was related to both childhood and adolescent Working Model styles of Attachment and to the dimensions of independence-encouraging and acceptance. The two Attachment measures were related. Subjects who classified their parent-child Attachment as secure rated their parents as high in independence-encouraging and acceptance .

the influences of parent child Attachment memory activation on general Attachment Working Model
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science, 2011Co-Authors: X U YunAbstract:Objective To explore the influences of parent-child Attachment security memory activation on college students'general Attachment Working Model. Methods 152 college students were randomly distributed to three groups, among which there were two experimental groups accepting father-child or mother-child memory activation,and one control group accepting non-interpersonal memory activation. Results Mather-child security memory activation significantly increased subjects' scores on others-Model of general Attachment to females (F= 3.83;P ＜0.05), scores of mather-child security memory activation group were significantly higher than those of fatherchild group ( 7.88 ± 7.24,4.49 ± 7.53; P ＜ 0.05 ) and control group ( 7.88 ± 7.24,4.71 ± 6.83; P ＜ 0.05 ).Father-child security memory activation significantly increased subjects' scores on self-Model of general Attachment to males (F= 6.35; P ＜ 0.01 ), scores of father-child security memory activation group were significantly higher than that of mather-child group (6.33 ±5.39,2.44 ±6.14; P＜0.01 ) and control group (6.33 ± 5.39,2.59 ±6.10; P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Parent-child Attachment security memory activation have major influences on college students' general Attachment Working Model, in which the effect of gender differences provides some inspiration for clinical interferences. Key words: Parent-child Attachment; Memory activation; Attachment Working Model

Attachment theory: Old and new approach
Zbornik Instituta za pedagoska istrazivanja, 2005Co-Authors: Nada PolovinaAbstract:The article is an attempt to present holistically the key concepts of Attachment theory rediscovered for its potentials. The presented concepts include: narrow definition of Attachment, behavioral control system of Attachment, Attachment Working Model and patterns of Attachment. The concepts are presented in the context of child Attachment theory and adult Attachment theory, in addition to description of the development of Attachment. Concepts, as well as developmental processes are presented from the stand point of pioneers in this field (John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth) as well as from the standpoint of their successors (Everett Waters and Malcolm West). Compacted ness of the theory, possibilities for operationalization of its key concepts and its application to empirical studies of complex psychological issues that have never been scientifically explored, makes it a very prospective theory in view of possible integration of existing research findings and initiating new research and new practices in psychotherapy, social work and work in schools. The goal of this integral presentation of Attachment theory is to highlight its benefits and possibilities for understanding and research complex field of human's psychosocial functioning.

Pastoral juxtaposition in spiritual care: Towards a caregiving faith theology in an evangelical Christian context
HTS Teologiese Studies Theological Studies, 2018Co-Authors: Victor Counted, Joe R. MillerAbstract:The problem for many troubled youths seeking help within a Christian context is that their need for meaningful connections and spiritual growth is attached to relationships with their significant others. When needs of Attachment are not adequately met due to the effect of an insecure Attachment Working Model in a relationship with God, the teen may end up leaving the faith community seeking a new caregiver or regress into spiritual struggles, depression, anxiety, self-doubt and other negative emotions. This paper responds to the issues associated with youth Attachment behaviour towards God using a caregiving theology (i.e. pastoral juxtaposition) that draws on the ‘power of two’ through incarnational creativity and pneumatological ecclesiology. This proposed theology first supplements the work of the pastoral counsellor to create a transformative container through which young people, already within a redemptive Christian community, can grow spiritually and deepen their relationship with God. Secondly, pastoral juxtaposition targeting the spiritual needs of hurting youths serves to create a magnet space within the church community that Models incarnational love, pastoral care and support for young people by entering their world order to reframe their personal stories of grief, abandonment and insecurity through creative means. Finally, we theologise that pastoral juxtaposition also integrates the power of the Holy Spirit, as the ultimate caregiver in times of conflict, into each youth’s unique journey of faith and healing. Implications of this pastoral theology are discussed and applied to everyday life.
