Clinical Trial Summary

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

Description:

Oculomotor parameters will be assessed during visualization of 2 sets of pictures. The first set presents a distress picture and is followed by a slide composed of 3 pictures (one representing comfort, one representing complicity and the last representing a neutral scene).

Psychophysiological parameters (skin conductance reactivity-SCR) is also assess during this visualization.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Emotion Dysregulation

Intervention

Behavioral:
• oculomotor parameter recording
visual scanning behavior is assessed during visualization of emotional pictures
• attachment scale interview (ASI)
ASI is used to determine the attachment style of each participant
• psychophysiological recording
this consists of the measurement of the skin conductance reactivity (SCR) during the picture visualization
• psychometric assessment
self administered questionnaires are used to assess anxiety, depression and alexithymia.
• parent interview
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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	number of entry in distress pictures	these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.	within 1 year after inclusion
Primary	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
Primary	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
Primary	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	Amplitude of SCR	this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment.	within 1 year after inclusion
Secondary	interaction with the parent: score to the GPACS (goal-corrected partnership in adolescence coding system)	the quality of the interaction with the parent and the confusion of the parent-child role will be compared between the different attachment types.	within 1 year after inclusion
Secondary	Reaction time in SCR	this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment.	within 1 year after inclusion
