Abstract

25 young autistic children were examined in Ainsworth’s Strange Situation. The attachment security of 21 children could be classified. Almost half(44%) of these children were securely attached. The relationship between attachment security and developmental variables(chronological age, social quotient, severity of symptom) was investigated. There were no significant differences on CA, social quotient, and severity of symptom between secure attachment group and insecure attachment group. Although autistic children have social deficits, they develop secure attachment to their mothers.

어린 자폐아동 25명을 대상으로 낯선상황절차를 이용하여 애착 안정성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 84%가 분류가능하였는데 안정애착이 44%, 불안-회피애착이 20%, 비조직화/비정향애착이 16%, 불안-저항애착이 4%로 나타났고, 전체적으로 대략 반정도가 안정적으로 애착되었다. 애착 안정성과 발달변인의 관계를 알아본 결과, 생활연령, 사회성지수, 증상의 심각도에서 안정애착집단과 불안정애착집단간 차이가 나타나지 않았다.
