依恋理论框架适用于理解抑郁症的出现，虐待和nonmaltreated儿童的认知能力较低。假设虐待儿童与非最佳模式的相关性证据升高抑郁症和较低的能力，而nonmaltreated儿童与最佳或足够的模式的相关性表现出最少的抑郁症和较高的能力，得到了证实。此外，受虐待的儿童之间的区别，没有最佳或适当的模式的相关性出现，这表明相关性可能会减轻对虐待的不利影响。此外，性虐待的儿童与混乱的模式的相关性证明了临床显着的抑郁症。结果进行了讨论方面的机制，有助于适应或适应不良的儿童与负面的histories。
An attachment theory framework is applied toward understanding the emergence of depressive symptomatology and lower perceived competence in maltreated and nonmaltreated children. Hypotheses that maltreated children with nonoptimal patterns of relatedness evidence elevated depressive symptomatology and lower competence, whereas nonmaltreated children with optimal or adequate patterns of relatedness exhibit the least depressive symptomatology and higher competence, were confirmed. Additionally, differentiations between maltreated children with and without optimal or adequate patterns of relatedness emerged, suggesting that relatedness may mitigate against the adverse effects of maltreatment. Moreover, sexually abused children with confused patterns of relatedness evidenced clinically significant depressive symptomatology. Results are discussed with regard to mechanisms that contribute to adaptation or maladaptation in children with negative caregiving histories.
