归属感被认为是人类的一项基本需要，而归属感的缺失与社会和心理功能的问题有关。然而，几乎没有证据表明早期生活经历对归属感有什么贡献。本研究的目的是考察儿童时期成人归属感的潜在影响因素。样本包括362名社区大学生，年龄从18岁到72岁不等，平均年龄26岁。测量工具包括归属感问卷、父母亲和量表和儿童逆境与青少年偏离量表。使用多元回归分析将儿童时期的前科因素与成人的归属感联系起来。最终的简化模型包括12个变量，它们解释了归属感的25%的方差。与归属感相关的显著正向影响因素包括：父母在成长过程中的关爱、参加高中体育活动、父母离异。与归属感相关的显著负面变量包括父亲的过度保护、高中怀孕、成长过程中的家庭经济问题、乱伦和同性恋。对这些因素的了解应影响对家庭的育儿和育儿做法的干预，调解儿童时期危机的影响，如离婚和青少年怀孕，以及青少年的人际成长需求。(C)2002年威利期刊公司。
Sense of belonging has been proposed to be a basic human need, and deficits in sense of belonging have been linked to problems in social and psychological functioning. Yet, there is little evidence about what early life experiences contribute to sense of belonging. The purpose of this study was to examine potential childhood antecedents of adult sense of belonging. The sample consisted of 362 community college students ranging in age from 18 to 72 years, with a mean age of 26 years. Measures included the Sense of Belonging Instrument, the Parental Bonding Instrument, and the Childhood Adversity and Adolescent Deviance Instrument. Multiple regression analysis was used to correlate childhood antecedents with adult sense of belonging. The final reduced model included 12 variables, which accounted for 25% of the variance in sense of belonging. Significant positive antecedents with a relationship with sense of belonging were perceived caring by both mother and father while growing up, participation in high school athletic activity, and parental divorce. Significant negative variables with a relationship with sense of belonging included perceived overprotection of father, high school pregnancy, family financial problems while growing up, incest, and homosexuality. Knowledge of these factors should influence interventions with families regarding child-rearing and parenting practices, mediating the effects of crises during childhood such as divorce and teen pregnancy, and the interpersonal growth needs of teenagers.
