Adaptive defense mechanisms have rarely been evaluated in preadolescence, a developmental stage characterized by significant interpersonal changes, and our first goal was to assess which defense mechanisms are predominant in preadolescence. Furthermore, mothers may model or teach defense mechanisms to their children, suggesting an association between maternal and child defense mechanisms. In addition, maternal defense mechanisms might enable mothers to be more attuned to children's needs, thus, promoting children's attachment security. Greater child attachment security may, instead, promote more adaptive defense mechanisms by providing a foundation for resilience and coping strategies when managing interpersonal relations. Thus, our second goal was to assess whether child attachment security mediates this relation. Mother-child dyads (N = 111) were videotaped discussing a conflict and videotapes were later scored for maternal and child defense mechanisms by trained raters using the Defense Mechanism Rating Scale (Perry, 1990). Children's attachment security with mothers was assessed with Kerns et al.'s (2015) Security Scale. We found that, although preadolescents use a spectrum of defense mechanisms, they primarily rely on the disavowal defense level, specifically rationalization and denial. Thus, preadolescence might be a critical developmental period for the development of the use of adaptive defense mechanisms. Furthermore, more adaptive maternal defense mechanisms were associated with more adaptive child defense mechanisms and child attachment security. More adaptive child defense mechanisms were also associated with child attachment security. However, child attachment security did not mediate the relation between maternal and child defense mechanisms. Overall, our findings advance the literature by highlighting that maternal defense mechanisms and child attachment security have independent and strong relations with child defense mechanisms. They also underscore the importance of both maternal heathy functioning and the quality of mother-child relationships in preadolescence.
