A Gendered Approach to Adolescent Dating Violence: Conceptual and Methodological Issues (2009, background): “Furthermore, maltreatment, particularly in early childhood, can result in neurological impairment in the ability to attend to and process social information and to regulate emotions (Diamond, 2001), thereby making theories of developmental traumatology (DeBellis, 2001) and developmental psychopathol”
Responding to the needs of others: The caregiving behavioral system in intimate relationships (2010, background): “Attachment scholars have recognized the importance of understanding the biological underpinnings of attachment bonds in humans (Diamond, 2001; Diamond & Fagundes, 2010; Sbarra & Hazan, 2008), but these efforts have focused almost exclusively on the attachment system; theoretical and empirical work…”
Psychobiological research on attachment (2010, background): “1996; Feeney & Kirkpatrick, 1996) had investigated links between adult attachment phenomena and physiological functioning (Diamond, 2001).”
Understanding the Links Between Social Support and Physical Health: A Life-Span Perspective With Emphasis on the Separability of Perceived and Received Support (2009, background): “The concept of infant attachment has been widely applied to the adult literature on close interpersonal relationships (Cassidy & Shaver, 1999; Diamond, 2001).”
Emotional Coregulation in Close Relationships (2013, background): “Attachment behaviors such as cuddling, touching, and sexual contact activate oxytocin and opioid systems, which together induce pleasure and alleviate distress, thereby providing a physiological basis for felt security and contributing to both partners’ physiological and emotional balance (Diamond, ”
Emotion Regulation Across the Life Span: An Integrative Perspective Emphasizing Self-Regulation, Positive Affect, and Dyadic Processes (2003, background): “His hypothesis is consistent with extensive evidence that individual differences in emotion regulation are associated with individual differences in vagal tone (reviewed in Diamond, 2001).”
The emotional sequelae of nonmarital relationship dissolution: Analysis of change and intraindividual variability over time. (2005, background): “Evidence suggests that secure individuals regulate their emotions more effectively, especially in situations that present relationship-specific threats (Diamond, 2001; Feeney, 1995; Kobak & Sceery, 1988).”
Developing Sustainable Leaders Through Coaching and Compassion (2006, background): “regulate an individual’s SNS response to stress, both in the presence and absence of the attachment figure by increasing the basal level activity of the PSNS (Diamond, 2001; Sapolsky, 2004).”
Physiological evidence for repressive coping among avoidantly attached adults (2006, background): “Overall, there has been little psychophysiological research on adult attachment that might directly address this question (see review in Diamond, 2001).”
Attachment style, current relationship security, and negative emotions: The mediating role of physiological regulation (2005, background): “Such findings raise the possibility that repeated, security-enhancing interactions with attachment figures might influence one’s pattern of physiological regulation (Diamond, 2001).”
Attachment-style differences in the ability to suppress negative thoughts: Exploring the neural correlates (2005, background): “Recently, there has been a call for more direct exploration of the neurophysiological foundations of attachment-related behavior (Diamond, 2001; Hofer, 2003; Schore, 2000).”
