来自美国一所大学的237名年轻人完成了一份问卷，旨在测试依恋理论的几个规范含义。正如预测的那样，大多数参与者(60%)将父母作为主要的依恋对象，但正在将与依恋相关的功能从父母转移到同龄人(最好的朋友和浪漫伴侣)。研究发现，这些功能从父母向同伴的转移随着同伴关系的持续时间而增加。此外，一般促进婴儿期依恋形成的因素(如照顾、信任和亲密接触)被发现与成人关系中依恋的发展呈正相关。确定了可能促进同伴依恋形成的其他变量：安全的依恋工作模式和感受到的同伴的安全性。未来对依恋形成和转移作用的研究对于全面描述成人关系中的依恋动态是至关重要的。
Two hundred thirty-seven young adults from an American university completed a questionnaire designed to test several normative implications of attachment theory. As predicted, the majority of participants (60%) used their parents as primary attachment figures but were in the process of transferring attachment-related functions from parents to peers (best friends and romantic partners). The transfer of these functions from parents to peers was found to increase as a function of the duration of the peer relationship. Furthermore, factors that generally promote the development of attachment formation in infancy (such as caregiving, trust, and intimate contact) were found to be positively associated with the development of attachment in adult relationships. Additional variables were identified that may facilitate peer attachment formation: secure working models of attachment and the perceived security of the peer. It is argued that future investigations into the role of attachment formation and transfer are critical for a comprehensive description of attachment dynamics in adult relationships.
