Abstract

Abstract:The current study’s aim was to assess the contribution of empathic perspective-taking to the relationship between attachment security and children’s risk of mal-adjustment. A sample of 212 preschoolers aged 3–5 years old was included in this study. Children completed the Attachment Story Completion Task and a modified version of the Kids’ Empathic Development Scale. Teachers and parents rated children’s externalizing/internalizing problems by employing the Caregiver-Teacher Report Form, and the Child Behavior Checklist, respectively. Results supported the notion that the indirect path from attachment security to externalizing problems was negatively mediated by empathic perspective-taking related to negative (but not positive) emotions. Similarly, the same component of empathic perspective-taking negatively mediated the relationship between attachment security and internalizing problems. These findings indicate that empathic perspective-taking in relation to negative emotions might serve to promote preschoolers’ reduced risk of mental health problems.

依恋与学龄前儿童外化/内化问题:积极和消极共情视角的作用
摘要:本研究旨在探讨共情换位思考在依恋安全和儿童适应不良风险之间的作用。本研究以212名3-5岁学龄前儿童为研究对象。孩子们完成了依恋故事完成任务和修改版的儿童共情发展量表。教师和家长分别使用《照顾者-教师报告表》和《儿童行为检查表》对儿童的外化/内化问题进行评估。结果支持了从依恋安全到外化问题的间接路径被与消极(但非积极)情绪相关的共情换位思考负向介导的观点。同理心换位思考同样对依恋安全和内化问题之间的关系起负向中介作用。这些发现表明,与消极情绪相关的共情换位思考可能有助于降低学龄前儿童心理健康问题的风险。
