Abstract/Results: | ABSTRACT:
Within attachment research, the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) is a well-known procedure to assess working models of attachment in adults. Attachment patterns assessed through AAI have been conceived as different strategies to regulate the access to relevant attachment information and to process distress-related information. The psycho-physiological activation led by emotional processing of attachment experiences during the AAI procedure may be a critical factor in order to understand the subject's attachment strategies. Due to great progress in IT industry, we could develop low-cost PC-based digital system for the AAI procedure, achieving a more comprehensive approach than the traditional assessment approach. Exploring some of the newest technologies in computers, we have developed the second generation of BioDReAMS (Bio-Dual channel and Representation of Attachment Multimedia System), which is a system for assessment attachment strategies and physiological measures during the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). It runs under Windows XP environment and implements the concept framework of physiological measures and AAI assessment including synchronous ECG, skin conductance, video audio data acquisition, store and rating documentation workflow. The new BioDreAMS system supports seamless biosignal and video acquisition over 10 h which can satisfy long-time AAI procedure. New BioDreAMS has greatly enhanced over the previous one in data acquisition, backup, processing and analysis, which makes it easier for the raters to analyse and evaluate psychological and physiological events during review and to explore possible relations. In our presentation, we will show how BioDReAMS works in a real situation. This project is partly supported by Fundação Bial, grant 25?2 and FCT, grant SFRHBPD9383?2, under the POSI program with support of FEDER.
