Previous research highlighted the correlation between parent–infant's attachment quality and joint attention skills. However, the underlying mechanisms of this relationship are still unclear. The aim of this study was to assess whether it is by mediating the expectation component in Internal Working Models that the quality of attachment style can affect joint attention. At first, 12‐ to 20‐month‐old infants were classified into secure and insecure groups using the Strange Situation Procedure. On a following day, using a violation‐of‐expectation paradigm, infants were habituated to two joint attention videos. Finally, the mean looking time duration of secure and insecure infants were compared with each other between two “divergent attention” and “joint attention” videos. Infants looked longer for divergent attention videos suggesting they did have expectation regarding the appropriate response in triadic interactions. In line with our main hypothesis, secure infants, but not insecure ones, looked longer in the divergent attention situation when an attachment‐related context was present, revealing the possible mediating role of “expectations” in the correlation between attachment and joint attention.

婴儿的依恋和共同注意:期望的作用

先前的研究强调了亲子依恋质量与共同注意技能之间的相关性。然而,这种关系的潜在机制仍不清楚。本研究的目的是评估依恋风格的质量是否会通过调节内部工作模型中的期望成分来影响共同注意。首先,使用陌生情境程序将 12 至 20 个月大的婴儿分为安全组和不安全组。第二天,使用违反预期范式,婴儿习惯于观看两个联合注意视频。最后,在两个“发散注意力”和“共同注意”视频之间比较安全和不安全婴儿的平均观看持续时间。婴儿对发散注意力视频的观看时间更长,这表明他们确实对三元互动中的适当反应抱有期望。与我们的主要假设一致,安全的婴儿,而不是不安全的婴儿,当存在依恋相关的上下文时,在发散注意力的情况下看起来更长,揭示了“期望”在依恋和共同注意之间的相关性中可能的中介作用。
