Langzeitauswirkungen der pränatalen Mutter-Kind-Bindung

Abstract

There is much controversial discussion about possible associations of delivery and the perinatal period and later developmental parameters, but recent studies practically not include any possible influence of mother-child attachment during preganancy and in the postnatal period. This long-time observation should indicate possible associations of this kind. The results show, that avoidant attachment during preganancy may have some negative influence on later attachment. Furthermore, prenatal ambivalent attachment may lead to also ambivalent attachment in the postnatal period. Prenatally secure attachment may help to beware later avoidant attachment and vice versa. As our results indicate, intrauterine fetal movements do not predict later attachment.

Key words

prenatal attachment - perinatal attachment - attachment at the age of 6 years - intrauterine fetal acitivity

1 Erklärung zu [Tab. 1] [2] [3]: Je höher der Score ist, desto pathologischer ist auch das Bindungsmuster, wobei die Vermeidung als etwas, die Ambivalenz als massiv pathologischer als die sichere Bindung anzusehen ist. Die Punkte stellen den erreichten Score linear dar, die Kurven die Zusammenhänge der einzelnen Bindungsmuster (‚Beta’ der schrittweisen Regressionsanalysen).
