研究人员对 126 名本科生（其中 42 名有自杀史、42 名目前患有抑郁症但没有自杀史的学生）和 42 名正常对照组的大学生进行了依恋安全感以及与父母和同龄人的个性化程度的调查。自杀被定义为严重的自杀意念或自杀企图的历史。正如预测的那样，有自杀史的学生在当前与父母的关系中表现出最低的依恋安全感和最低程度的个性化。相比之下，他们在同伴依恋的安全性和与同伴的个性化程度方面与抑郁和控制的学生相似。有自杀史的学生认为他们的父母和母亲在童年时期情感缺失的程度明显高于抑郁和正常对照组。这种效应与抑郁症无关，但与性别无关。自杀史与家庭不稳定的关系比与父母离婚的关系更为密切。当父母作为情感依恋对象的缺失至关重要时，青少年更容易自杀。
Security of attachment and level of individuation from parents and peers was examined among 126 undergraduates, 42 with a history of suicidality, 42 who were currently depressed with no history of suicidality, and 42 normal controls. Suicidality was defined as history of serious suicidal ideation or suicide attempt. As predicted, students with a history of suicidality exhibited both the lowest security of attachment as well as the least degree of individuation in their current relationships with parents. In contrast, they were similar to depressed and control students on security of peer attachment and level of individuation from peers. Students with a history of suicidality rated their parents and mother as emotionally absent in childhood to a significantly higher degree than depressed and normal controls. This effect was independent of depression but not from gender. History of suicidality is more strongly associated with family instability than with parental divorce. Absence of parents as emotionally available attachment figures at a time when such availability is critical heightens adolescents' vulnerability to suicide.
