摘要

Background: Early parent-child attachment has been thought to influence the diverse functional development of the individual in later life. The research results of the influence of parental attachment on individuals show only the precipitating and perpetuating factors. But the predisposing and possibly mediating latent covariates, or several confounding variables, can be neglected, and pseudo-associations can be identified. The aim of this overview was to provide a clear protocol for the investigation of the influence of parent-child attachment on the personality, mental health, experience of chronic pain, sexual orientation, and criminal behavior of an individual. Methods: In this review article, I assessed relevant research articles dealing with developmental aspects of parental attachment and mental health in structural equation modeling. Combining with my own data, I also explored the natural course of the path effect, current effect, and the regression and concurrent validity in each variable, using Structural Equation Modeling and Latent Class Analysis. Results: I first introduced assessment instruments to measure parenting, personality and psychiatric morbidity; then covered the issues of parental attachment, personality, and psychological adjustment, as well as mental health and traumatic stress. Later I deal with the issues of relationship between parental bonding and criminal behavior, adolescent prostitutes and parental rearing attitudes, parental bonding and psychiatric psychopath, such as psychosomatic symptoms, chronic regional pain, hyperventilation syndrome, sexual orientation, increased expressed emotion and alexithymia. Conclusion: Issues associated with the relationship between genetic factors and parental attachment, expressed emotion and alexithymia, and the interaction between nature and nurture, have not yet settled. Future research are needed to deal with those inconclusive issues.
