在过去的十年里，关于成人依恋的心理生物学研究急剧增加。我们回顾了最近的研究结果之间的联系，依恋风格和模式的反应，下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺皮质轴和自主神经系统。结果的总体模式表明，焦虑和回避与下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺皮质和自主神经系统对压力的反应性增强有关，这与依恋不安全感与情绪调节缺陷有关的观点一致。回避型个体的生理反应增强的发现特别值得注意，因为回避型个体通常报告主观痛苦水平降低。未来研究的主要方向包括更多地调查跨多个系统和背景的生理功能概况，更多地考虑儿童与成人依恋不安全模式对成人生理功能的相对重要性。
Over the past decade, psychobiological research on adult attachment has increased dramatically. We review recent findings regarding associations between attachment style and patterns of reactivity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis and the autonomic nervous system. The overall pattern of results suggests that both anxiety and avoidance are associated with heightened hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical and autonomic nervous system reactivity to stress, consistent with the notion that attachment insecurity is associated with deficits in emotion regulation. The finding of heightened physiological reactivity among avoidant individuals is particularly notable, given that avoidant individuals typically report dampened levels of subjective distress. Key directions for future study include greater investigation into profiles of physiological functioning across multiple systems and contexts and greater consideration of the relative importance of childhood versus adult patterns of attachment insecurity for adult physiological functioning.
