Oculomotor Markers and Attachment in Adolescents

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Emotion Dysregulation

• Registration Number: NCT02851810
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon

Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
saccade duration in distress picture	within 1 year after inclusion	time spent looking at the distress picture these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.
number of entry in distress pictures	within 1 year after inclusion	these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.
average of the number of entry in comfort picture vs neutral and complicity pictures	within 1 year after inclusion	these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.
average of the saccade duration in comfort picture vs neutral and complicity pictures	within 1 year after inclusion	these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
interaction with the parent: score to the GPACS (goal-corrected partnership in adolescence coding system)	within 1 year after inclusion	the quality of the interaction with the parent and the confusion of the parent-child role will be compared between the different attachment types.
Amplitude of SCR	within 1 year after inclusion	this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment.
Reaction time in SCR	within 1 year after inclusion	this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment.
