Patterns of Relatedness, Depressive Symptomatology, and Perceived Competence in Maltreated Children.
Toth, Sheree L.; Cicchetti, Dante
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v64 n1 p32-41 Feb 1996
An attachment theory framework is applied toward understanding the emergence of depressive symptomatology and lower perceived competence in maltreated and nonmaltreated children. Confirmed hypotheses that maltreated children with nonoptimal patterns of relatedness show elevated depressive symptomatology and lower competence, whereas nonmaltreated children with optimal or adequate patterns of relatedness exhibit the least depressive symptomatology and higher competence.
