About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • non hospitalized child who is going to school

Exclusion criteria

  • not french-speaker vision problem more than 20 cigarettes/day

Treatment and study plan

oculomotor parameter recording

Behavioral

visual scanning behavior is assessed during visualization of emotional pictures

attachment scale interview (ASI)

Behavioral

ASI is used to determine the attachment style of each participant

psychophysiological recording

Behavioral

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

psychometric assessment

Behavioral

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

parent interview

Behavioral

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. number of entry in distress pictures

    Time frame: within 1 year after inclusion

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

  2. saccade duration in distress picture

    Time frame: within 1 year after inclusion

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

  3. average of the number of entry in comfort picture vs neutral and complicity pictures

    Time frame: within 1 year after inclusion

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

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

    Time frame: within 1 year after inclusion

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Amplitude of SCR

    Time frame: within 1 year after inclusion

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

  2. interaction with the parent: score to the GPACS (goal-corrected partnership in adolescence coding system)

    Time frame: 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.

  3. Reaction time in SCR

    Time frame: within 1 year after inclusion

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