Résumé
Parents exposed to rejection in their childhood could experience bonding disturbances in their current relationships. Reflective functioning (RF), the capacity to understand one's own and others' behavior through the lens of underlying mental states (cognitions, emotions), has been identified as a potential protective process. The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine whether RF moderates the effect of parents' experiences of rejection in childhood on later relationship functioning with partners and infants. Pregnant women with experiences of abuse and neglect were recruited and completed the Adult Attachment Interview, which was coded for RF and experiences of childhood rejection. During two follow-up assessments, when their infants were 5 and 17 months old, the mothers in our sample who had partners reported on dyadic cohesion with these partners. Further, at 5 months postnatal, mothers completed interaction tasks with their infants, which were later assessed using observational measures (i.e., CARE-Index). Results of mothers with partners (N = 93) indicated that RF moderated the relationship between dyadic cohesion with partners at 17 months only. Additionally, results with all mothers in the sample (N = 108) indicated that RF moderated the relationship between retrospectively reported experiences of rejection and controlling and unresponsive behaviors with infants. Adequate-to-high RF was associated with lower unresponsiveness and higher relationship satisfaction in the context of rejection, while being associated with higher levels of control. These findings have important clinical implications, as RF is amenable to change and can therefore be more prominently implemented within various interventions. Los padres expuestos al rechazo en su infancia podrían tener problemas de vinculación en sus relaciones actuales. El funcionamiento reflexivo (FR), la capacidad de comprender la conducta propia y de los demás mediante la perspectiva de los estados mentales subyacentes (cogniciones, emociones) se ha identificado como posible proceso de protección. El objetivo de este estudio longitudinal fue analizar si el FR modera el efecto de las experiencias de rechazo de los padres durante la infancia en el funcionamiento posterior de las relaciones con las parejas y los bebés. Se incluyó a mujeres embarazadas con experiencias de abuso y abandono, quienes completaron la Entrevista de Apego en los Adultos (Adult Attachment Interview), la cual se codificó para el FR y las experiencias de rechazo en la infancia. Durante dos evaluaciones de seguimiento, cuando sus bebés tenían cinco meses y diecisiete meses, las madres de nuestra muestra que tenían pareja informaron sobre la cohesión diádica con estas parejas. Además, a los cinco meses después del parto, las madres completaron tareas de interacción con sus bebés, que después se evaluaron usando instrumentos de evaluación observacionales (p. ej., CARE-Index). Los resultados de las madres con las parejas (N = 93) indicaron que el FR moderó la relación entre la cohesión diádica con las parejas a los 17 meses solamente. Además, los resultados con todas las madres de la muestra (N = 108) indicaron que el FR moderó la relación entre las experiencias de rechazo informadas retrospectivamente y las conductas dominantes e indiferentes con los bebés. El FR entre adecuado y alto se asoció con una indiferencia más baja y una satisfacción con la relación más alta en el contexto del rechazo, y a su vez se lo asoció con niveles más altos de control. Estos resultados tienen consecuencias clínicas importantes, ya que el FR es susceptible de cambios y puede, por ende, implementarse de manera más prominente dentro de diferentes intervenciones. 童年时期经历过被拒绝经历的家长可能会在他们目前的关系中经历亲情障碍。反思功能(RF)，即通过潜在的心理状态(认知、情绪)来理解自己和他人行为的能力，已被确定为一种潜在的保护过程。本研究是一项长期性研究，旨在检查RF是否会调节家长自己在童年时被拒绝的经历对以后与伴侣的关系和与婴儿关系的功能的影响。研究招募了有受虐待和被忽视经历的孕妇，并完成了“成人依恋访谈”，该访谈是基于RF和童年拒绝经历进行编码之后形成的。在婴儿5个月和17个月大时的两次随访评估中，我们样本中拥有伴侣的母亲报告了与这些伴侣的对立凝聚力。此外，在产后5个月时，母亲们完成了与婴儿的互动任务，随后使用观察性措施（即关爱指数）进行评估。对有伴侣的母亲（N = 93）的调查结果表明，RF仅在17个月时调节了与伴侣的对偶凝聚力之间的关系。此外，所有样本中的母亲（N = 108）的结果表明，RF调节了回顾性报告的拒绝经验与对婴儿的控制和置之不理行为之间的关系。足够程度的反思至较高水平的反思与较低的不反应和较高的关系满意度相关，同时与较高的控制水平相关。这些发现具有重要的临床意义，因为RF是可以促进改变的，因此可以在各种干预措施中更加突显其作用。.
