Brief Summary

The study aims to identify specific visual scanning patterns of attachment pictures in adolescent with different attachment style.

Conditions

Emotion Dysregulation

Keywords

attachment; oculomotor marker; emotion regulation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• number of entry in distress pictures

  these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

  within 1 year after inclusion

• saccade duration in distress picture

  time spent looking at the distress picture these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

  within 1 year after inclusion

• average of the number of entry in comfort picture vs neutral and complicity pictures

  these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

  within 1 year after inclusion

• average of the saccade duration in comfort picture vs neutral and complicity pictures

  these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

  within 1 year after inclusion

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Amplitude of SCR

  within 1 year after inclusion

• interaction with the parent: score to the GPACS (goal-corrected partnership in adolescence coding system)

  within 1 year after inclusion

• Reaction time in SCR

  within 1 year after inclusion

Interventions

oculomotor parameter recording BEHAVIORAL

visual scanning behavior is assessed during visualization of emotional pictures

attachment scale interview (ASI) BEHAVIORAL

ASI is used to determine the attachment style of each participant

psychophysiological recording BEHAVIORAL

this consists of the measurement of the skin conductance reactivity (SCR) during the picture visualization

psychometric assessment BEHAVIORAL

self administered questionnaires are used to assess anxiety, depression and alexithymia.

parent interview BEHAVIORAL

an interview of the adolescent parent is performed in order to assess the confusion of the parent-child role and the interaction between the child and its parent.
