Working models of attachment and reactions to different forms of caregiving from romantic partners.

Inspired by attachment theory, the authors tested a series of theoretically derived predictions about connections between attachment working models (attachment to one's parents assessed by the Adult Attachment Interview; M. Main & R. Goldwyn, 1994) and the effectiveness of specific types of caregiving spontaneously displayed by dating partners during a stressful conflict-resolution discussion. Each partner first completed the Adult Attachment Interview. One week later, each couple was videotaped while they tried to resolve a current problem in their relationship. Trained observers then rated each interaction for the degree to which (a) emotional, instrumental, and physical caregiving behaviors were displayed; (b) care recipients appeared calmed by their partners' caregiving attempts; and (c) each partner appeared distressed during the discussion. Individuals who had more secure representations of their parents were rated as being more calmed if/when their partners provided greater emotional care, especially if they were rated as more distressed. Conversely, individuals who had more insecure (dismissive) representations of their parents reacted more favorably to instrumental caregiving behaviors from their partners, especially if they were more distressed. The broader theoretical implications of these findings are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Humans' attachment to their mobile phones and its relationship with interpersonal attachment style

Humans have a biological predisposition to form attachment to social partners, and they seem to form attachment even toward non-human and inanimate targets. Attachment styles influence not only interpersonal relationships, but interspecies and object attachment as well.We hypothesized that young people form attachment toward their mobile phone, and that people with higher attachment anxiety use the mobile phone more likely as a compensatory attachment target. We constructed a scale to observe people's attachment to their mobile and we assessed their interpersonal attachment style.In this exploratory study we found that young people readily develop attachment toward their phone: they seek the proximity of it and experience distress on separation. People's higher attachment anxiety predicted higher tendency to show attachment-like features regarding their mobile. Specifically, while the proximity of the phone proved to be equally important for people with different attachment styles, the constant contact with others through the phone was more important for anxiously attached people.We conclude that attachment to recently emerged artificial objects, like the mobile may be the result of cultural co-option of the attachment system. People with anxious attachment style may face challenges as the constant contact and validation the computer-mediated communication offers may deepen their dependence on others.     

焦炭塔裙座与简体连接区域应力分析

以焦炭塔失效的敏感部位——筒体与裙座连接处附近区域为研究对象,采用大型有限元分析软件ANSYS,分析、比较了4种不同的连接形式(一般对焊型、搭接型、堆焊型和整体煅焊型)对机械应力强度的影响.结果表明,连接形式对最大机械应力的影响并不明显,从连接处的应力值来看,整体煅焊型和堆焊型结构明显比另外两种结构好,搭接型的应力值最...     

The mu-opioid receptor and the evolution of mother-infant attachment: Theoretical comment on Higham et al. (2011).

Genetic variation at a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) of both humans and rhesus macaques Macaca mulatta has been associated with differential affinity to the endogenous ligand beta-endorphin as well as alterations in pain sensitivity, drug and alcohol dependence, and social behaviors. The new study by Higham et al. (2011) presented in the current issue of this journal shows for the first time that some of the natural variation in maternal behavior observed in rhesus macaque populations can also be explained by genetic differences at this SNP. This work, in conjunction with other recent studies showing that genetic variability at this same locus are related to changes in infant attachment, provides unique insights into how opioids have been reutilized during evolution to coordinate the mother-infant relationship.

Adult attachment orientations, self–other boundary regulation, and splitting tendencies in a college sample.

In a sample of 247 college students, the contributions of adult attachment orientations and several other boundary regulation variables to measures of self-splitting (i.e., the tendency to report diffuse and chaotic self-experiences) and other-splitting (i.e., the tendency to acknowledge unstable perceptions of and feelings toward one's friends) were explored. Adult attachment orientations and self-other boundary regulation variables, respectively, explained unique variance in each criterion measure. High levels of attachment anxiety and self-concealment and low levels of self-other differentiation contributed most prominently to self-splitting, whereas high attachment anxiety, low emotional reactivity, and high needs for social approval best predicted other-splitting. Implications of these findings for advancing a more delineated understanding of splitting tendencies are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Child-care and family predictors of preschool attachment and stability from infancy.

This study used multinomial logistic regression to examine relationships between child-care experience (in the context of overall family functioning) and preschool attachment. Attachment behavior was assessed at 36 months with the Strange Situation, and A, B, C, and D attachment classifications were assigned using the MacArthur coding system. Maternal sensitivity was the strongest predictor of preschool attachment classification. With respect to child-care effects, as at 15 months, no child-care factors (quantity, quality, or type) predicted, in and of themselves, attachment security at 36 months. However, 1 of 3 interactions involving child care that were detected at 15 months reemerged at 36 months: When maternal sensitivity was low, more hours per week in care somewhat increased the risk of the insecure-ambivalent (C) classification. There was significant but modest stability of attachment classifications from 15 to 36 months, especially for children with A and C classifications.

Rates of Electron Attachment to Aluminum Oxides in Air-Xenon Mixtures

This paper reports results from measurements of the electron concentration in wakes behind aluminum spherical models flying at velocities of 2–5 km/sec in air-xenon mixtures at a total pressure in the ballistic track of 20–100 torr. The heating of the models moving in the ballistic track and aluminum ablation from their surfaces were calculated. The rate constant of electron attachment to microparticles is found, and it is shown that it depends on the fraction of xenon in the mixture. The dependence of the coefficient of electron accommodation to the microparticle surface on the xenon concentration in the mixture is obtained and explained from a physical point of view.__________Translated from Fizika Goreniya i Vzryva, Vol. 41, No. 3, pp. 65–73, May–June, 2005.
