About this study

Official title: Oculomotor and Neurophysiological Markers of Emotion Regulation and Attachment Styles in Adolescence

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

Read the 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.

Being tested
oculomotor parameter recording, attachment scale interview (ASI), psychophysiological recording, psychometric assessment, parent interview
Keywords
attachment, oculomotor marker, emotion regulation
Medical subject headings
Emotional Regulation

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • oculomotor parameter recordingBehavioural

    visual scanning behavior is assessed during visualization of emotional pictures

  • attachment scale interview (ASI)Behavioural

    ASI is used to determine the attachment style of each participant

  • psychophysiological recordingBehavioural

    this consists of the measurement of the skin conductance reactivity (SCR) during the picture visualization

  • psychometric assessmentBehavioural

    self administered questionnaires are used to assess anxiety, depression and alexithymia.

  • parent interviewBehavioural

    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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. number of entry in distress pictures

    these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

    Measured: within 1 year after inclusion

  2. saccade duration in distress picture

    time spent looking at the distress picture these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

    Measured: within 1 year after inclusion

  3. 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.

    Measured: within 1 year after inclusion

  4. average of the saccade duration in comfort picture vs neutral and complicity pictures

    these parameters will be compared between the different types of attachment.

    Measured: within 1 year after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Amplitude of SCR

    this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment.

    Measured: within 1 year after inclusion

  2. 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.

    Measured: within 1 year after inclusion

  3. Reaction time in SCR

    this parameter will be compared between the different types of attachment.

    Measured: within 1 year after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oculomotor parameter recording, attachment scale interview (ASI) and psychophysiological recording in people with Emotion Dysregulation, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of entry in distress pictures (time frame: within 1 year after inclusion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02851810, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Oct 2018.
