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.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALoculomotor parameter recording
visual scanning behavior is assessed during visualization of emotional pictures
BEHAVIORALattachment scale interview (ASI)
ASI is used to determine the attachment style of each participant
BEHAVIORALpsychophysiological recording
this consists of the measurement of the skin conductance reactivity (SCR) during the picture visualization
BEHAVIORALpsychometric assessment
self administered questionnaires are used to assess anxiety, depression and alexithymia.
BEHAVIORALparent 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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| number of entry in distress pictures | within 1 year after inclusion | these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment. |
| 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. |
| 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Reaction time in SCR | within 1 year after inclusion | this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment. |
| Amplitude of SCR | within 1 year after inclusion | this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment. |
