Hostile attributional style, mentalisation and attachment in preadolescence

This review aims to explore social information processing styles, mentalisation abilities, and attachment security, and their associations, in relation to aggressive behaviours. These literatures are considered separately before possible relationships between these constructs are discussed. Existing theory and empirical findings around the relationships between social information processing, attachment and mentalisation are described. The author poses some further suggestions about how these constructs may be related, and the review ends with a possible model of the development of hostile attributional styles.
