We video-recorded 22 mother-infant dyads at nine months, 12 of which had mothers with secure attachment models and 10 with insecure attachment models; to evaluate their emotional regulation and their styles of interaction with the objects, analyzing both the duration of the behavior of the two partners and their association in sequence. The secure mother dyads had a greater overall duration of affective matches with more positive and neutral matches than insecure mother dyads who spent more time in negative matches. Significant differences between the groups emerged also in relation to different mismatches. Furthermore, the secure mothers spent more time in play undertaken by the infant while insecure mothers spent more time in interaction not focused with respect with infants' activity. The quality of the attachment model of the mothers appears to affect the dyads' regulation, showing itself in the insecure mother dyads greater difficulty in mutual regulation and in the regulation of negative emotions.
Abbiamo preso in esame le videoregistrazioni di 22 diadi madre-bambino a 9 mesi di vita, 12 delle quali con madri con attaccamento sicuro e 10 con madri con attaccamento insicuro, al fine di valutare i loro stili di regolazione emotiva e di interazione con gli oggetti, analizzando sia le durate dei comportamenti dei due partner che le loro associazioni in sequenze. Le diadi con madri sicure mostrano una durata maggiore di stati affettivi coordinati di tipo positivo e neutro rispetto alle diadi con madri insicure che trascorrono più tempo in attività di gioco intraprese dai loro bambini rispetto alle madri insicure che spendono più tempo in modo non focalizzato rispetto a tali attività. La qualità dei modelli di attaccamento delle madri appare influenzare gli stili di regolazione delle diadi, delineandosi nelle diadi con madri insicure una maggiore difficoltà nella mutua regolazione e nella regolazione delle emozioni negative.

Abstract
We video-recorded 22 mother-infant dyads at nine months, 12 of which had mothers with secure attachment models and 10 with insecure attachment models; to evaluate their emotional regulation and their styles of interaction with the objects, analyzing both the duration of the behavior of the two partners and their association in sequence. The secure mother dyads had a greater overall duration of affective matches with more positive and neutral matches than insecure mother dyads who spent more time in negative matches. Significant differences between the groups emerged also in relation to different mismatches. Furthermore, the secure mothers spent more time in play undertaken by the infant while insecure mothers spent more time in interaction not focused with respect with infants' activity. The quality of the attachment model of the mothers appears to affect the dyads' regulation, showing itself in the insecure mother dyads greater difficulty in mutual regulation and in the regulation of negative emotions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
