Two experiments revealed that solving novel conceptual combination problems could enhance
performance in a subsequent test of creativity. The evidence also showed that the beneficial effects
of solving novel conceptual combination problems were mediated in part by the production of
emergent properties. However, the positive effect of the novel conceptual combination training on
divergent thinking was found only among males, probably because the creativity measure used in
the experiment was biased against female participants. These findings were discussed in terms of
their theoretical significance and implications for teaching creativity.

4102.1 Associations between preschooler’s attachment narratives and actual interactions with
the mother, Raphaële Miljkovitch 1 , Blaise Pierrehumbert 2 , Olivier Halfon 2 , 1 Université Paris

The study examines how actual mother-child interactions relate to the way three-year-olds
complete attachment story beginnings (N=26). Interactive behaviors between mother and child
were measured using the CARE-Index. The Attachment Story Completion Task (ASCT) was used
to elicit child narratives regarding family transactions. The ASCT Q-sort was used to code
narratives according to story content and regulatory strategies (security, deactivation, hyperaction,
and disorganization). Results suggest predictable associations between maternal sensitivity, child
interactive behavior, and story completions. They tend to confirm the idea that imaginary
narratives are somewhat related to actual interactions with the caregiver
4102.2 The effect of maternal attachment style and parental stress on child attachment security
at 2.5 years old, Kyung-Hye Lee 1 , Sophie Parent 2 , 1 Asia University, faculty of Social Welfare,

Montreal, Canada
The purpose of this study is to specify the links between maternal attachment style (MAS),
maternal stress (MS), and child attachment security (CAS). Fifty-three mother-child dyads
participated when the children were 2.5 years old. The Attachment Style Questionnaire and the
Parental Stress Inventory were used to measure MAS, whereas Separation-Reunion procedure
system was used to measure CAS. Clarifying the mediator versus moderator effects, Amos
structural equation modeling analyses revealed that CAS formation is affected significantly by
MAS through MS. No direct pathway was observed between MAS and CAS when MS was
intervened.
