Attachment Avoidance and Depressive Symptoms: A Test of Moderation by Cognitive AbilitiesShea, Amanda Marie 04 September 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The substantial interpersonal and economic costs of depression make it imperative to better understand the predictors and moderators of depressive symptoms. The ability to use social support protects people from depressive symptoms, but individuals high in attachment avoidance tend not to use others as sources of support. Research has found that attachment avoidance is related to depressive symptoms in some samples but not in others (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007; Shea, 2011). Thus, there appear to be factors that moderate the relationship between attachment avoidance and depressive symptoms. The present study examined if cognitive abilities that facilitate effective emotion regulation strategies moderate the relationship between attachment avoidance and depressive symptoms. Using a sample of college students, attachment avoidance, cognitive abilities, depressive symptoms, and other indices of psychological distress and well-being were measured and examined for evidence of moderation via hierarchical linear regression. The hypothesis that cognitive abilities moderate the relationship between attachment avoidance and depressive symptoms was not supported (ΔR2 = 0.02, p = .68). Factors contributing to the null findings are discussed and conceptual and methodological suggestions are offered for future research.

Child and youth care workers’ knowledge and perceptions of and challenges related to attachment difficulties experienced by children residing in child and youth care centres : suggestions for social work supportMhizha, Ropafadzai 01 1900 (has links)
Child and youth care workers (CYCWs) provide intervention and support to children and youth in child and youth care centres (CYCCs) The purpose of this study was to investigate CYCWs’ knowledge and perceptions of attachment difficulties of children residing in CYCCs and to provide suggestions for social work support. The study adopted the Attachment Theory and Circle of Courage Theory.
Drawing on qualitative methodology, 16 participants employed in CYCCs in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan region, South Africa were purposively selected for in-depth, qualitative interviews. The eight-step data analysis method by Tesch (in Creswell, 2014:198) was used. To ensure trustworthiness of the findings, the researcher mainly used Guba’s model cited in Krefting (1990:214–222).The researcher adhered to prescribed ethical considerations.
The study recommended that child and youth care as a profession should be recognised and supported to ensure quality services to children with attachment difficulties living in CYCCs. / Social Work / M. A. (Social Work)

Guidelines for alternative caregivers to enhance attachment with the traumatised childNieuwoudt, Judith 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis focuses on the development of Gestalt guidelines for alternative
caregivers to enhance attachment with the traumatised child. The researcher
made use of the intervention research process, consisting of six phases. For the
purpose of this study of limited scope, the intervention research process was
completed up to step one of the fourth phase. The target group in this study was
alternative caregivers of traumatised children where attachment difficulties
existed. `Alternative caregivers' refers to people who provide care to these
children, either on a voluntary basis or professionally. Focus groups, field notes
and observation were used as data collection method, and Creswell's spiral was
used to analyse data. Not all aspects regarding attachment were covered in this
study and only relevant Gestalt principles were discussed. Gestalt guidelines with
an observational system were finally developed. The views of the respondents,
those of experts and a literature review were incorporated into the guidelines, as
well as some functional elements of existing treatments. / Practical Theology / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)
