SYNOPSIS

Objective. To characterize electroencephalographic activity (EEG) in mothers with secure (SA) and insecure attachment (IA) while viewing a video of a baby crying (CR). Design. EEGs were recorded in the prefrontal and parietal cortices (related to the processing of relevant stimuli) in first-time, IA (n = 8) and SA (n = 8), mothers while watching and listening to CR. Results. During CR, compared to IA, SA showed a lower absolute power (AP) of the alpha2 and beta1 bands in frontal areas, higher AP of the gamma and delta bands in parietal areas, and higher prefronto-parietal correlation in the fast frequencies. Conclusions. These EEG differences could be related to the greater attention and emotional regulation that SA show in the presence of a baby crying.

概要

客观的。在观看婴儿哭泣 (CR) 视频时，描述具有安全 (SA) 和不安全依恋 (IA) 的母亲的脑电图活动 (EEG)。设计。第一次，IA（ n = 8）和 SA（ n = 8），母亲在观看和收听 CR 时在前额叶和顶叶皮层（与相关刺激的处理相关）记录脑电图结果。在 CR 期间，与 IA 相比，SA 在额叶区域的 alpha2 和 beta1 波段的绝对功率 (AP) 较低，在顶叶区域的 gamma 和 delta 波段的 AP 较高，并且在快速频率中具有较高的前额顶相关性。结论。这些 EEG 差异可能与 SA 在婴儿哭泣时表现出的更大注意力和情绪调节有关。
