The present study used a mood induction and assessment procedure to examine the individual differences of attachment in preschoolers' emotionality at a representational level. Forty-eight four-year-old children were observed at home with their mothers for three hours. One third of the children were later designated as securely attached and one third insecurely attached according to observers' attachment Q-sort descriptions. During the home visit, each child also was presented with up to 24 hypothetical emotion-related events about him/herself and then asked to self-report their feelings about each event via a series of pairs of schematic faces. Half of the events contained positive plots that were happiness inducing and the other half were negative and sadness inducing. Half of the positive and negative events, in turn, were plots about mother-child interactions (mother-involved) and the other half either were samples of social interactions with people other than the major attachment figures or were non-social incidents (mother-irrelevant). Results showed that securely attached preschoolers were not more likely or less likely than insecure preschoolers to be induced into either a positive or a negative emotion. However, secure children were more likely to report positive feelings and gave lower negative scores in response to mother-irrelevant negative events. Insecure children reported more positive feelings and gave lower negative scores in response to mother-involved negative events. The significant interaction effect between attachment classifications and maternal involvement on children's paradoxical responses to negative events suggested that preschoolers' representations of emotionality involve complex cognitive processes that are impossible to be accounted for by theories emphasizing constitutional make-up or by regarding emotional expressions in attachment-related situations as simply the epiphenomena of secure base behaviors. The present study confirmed Bowlby's contribution of applying a cognitive control system model to preserve the psychoanalytical insights about the complexity of cognitive and emotional processes in attachment.
