Abstract
In this
study
,
I
examined
adults
'
attachment
styles
(secure
,
insecure-dismissing
,
insecure-fearful
and
insecure-preoccupied)
and
physiological
reactivity
to
repeated
infant
crying
.
Three
sessions
of
cry
stimuli
were
presented
to
55
non-parent
undergraduate
students
.
Previous
research
has
shown
that the
attachment
behavioral
system
plays
a
role
in an
individual's
physiological
reactivity

.
Changes
in
skin
conductance
(SC)
,
heart
rate
, and
diastolic
blood
pressure
(DBP)
were
examined
in this
study
.
Secure
and
dismissing
participants
had
higher
SC
levels
than
fearful
and
preoccupied
participants
,
however
, the
difference
was not
significant
.
Secure
participants
displayed
a
higher
mean
in
heart
rate
compared
to
baseline
following
exposure
to
infant
crying
.
Preoccupied
and
fearful
participants
had
higher
heart
rates
than the
secure
and
dismissing
participants
throughout
the
study
,
although
the
difference
was not
significant
.
Dismissing
individuals
displayed
higher
DBP
readings
throughout
the
study
in
comparison
participants
in the
other
three
attachment
categories
. The
fearful
group
did
show
a
slight
increase
in
DBP
from
pre-baseline
to
after
practice
,
while
all
other
attachment
groups
displayed
decreases
in
DBP
. The
fearful
group
had
lower
ratings
for
DBP
throughout
the
study
,
however
, the
difference
was not
significant
. There was a
pattern
of
differences
among
the
different
attachment
styles
,
however
with
such
a
small
sample
the
results
were not
significant
.
Implications
of
results
are
discussed
.
