In situazioni di conflitto genitoriale l'attaccamento modera gli effetti della disregolazione emotivo comportamentale sul benessere psicologico dei figli?

[Autom. eng. transl.] Introduction One of the most important explanations (Davies et al., 2004) of the relationship between parental conflict and children's psychological well-being identifies emotional-behavioral dysregulation as the main factor of mediation between high levels of conflict and behavioral problems in children. Only two studies (El Sheikh & Elmore, 2004; Lindsey et al. 2009) have investigated and found the protective role of secure attachment in such associations, not considering, however, the sub-types of attachment nor the association between conflict, dysregulation and adaptation of children. This study aims to explore whether attachment styles (safe, ambivalent, avoidant) moderate the mediating effects of dysregulation in the relationship between conflict and inter / child behaviors. Participants method: 173 children (50% M; age: μ = 8.9 DS = 1; 51% sure; 29% ambivalent; 20% avoidant) and their parents. Measures: Attachment: SAT (Attili, 2001); Conflict: Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (Grych et al., 1992) and Revised Conflict Tactic Scale (Straus et al., 1996); Dysregulation: Security in the Interparental Subsystem Scale (Davies et al., 2002); Intern / Estern: CBCL 4-18 (Frigerio, 2001). Results The distinct regressions in the groups of children with attac styles. several indicate that in the ambivalents the dysregolation. mediates the association between conflict and inter (β =, 32 *) and ester (β =, 39 **). In safe and avoidant situations, conflict does not predict adaptation and in certain cases leads to dysregulation (β =, 47 **). Conclusions Attachment modulates the relationship between the variables investigated, indicating that in ambivalents, unlike certain ones, the exasperation of reactions results in problems of adaptation in line with the IWM of caregivers not available and ineffective in emotional regulation. Avoiders do not emotionally activate or develop inter / ester problems in relation to the conflict, probably due to defensive / anesthetic methods
