人们对群体的认同可以通过借用亲密关系中依恋研究的理论思想和测量策略来理解。人们的心理模型把自我看作是群体成员，把群体看作是身份和自尊的来源。这些模型影响与群体成员关系相关的思想、情感和行为。三项研究表明，团体依恋的两个维度，依恋焦虑和回避，可以评估具有良好的信度，效度和长期稳定性。这些因素不同于关系依恋和其他群体认同的衡量标准。群体依恋预测了几个重要的结果，包括对群体的情感，与群体分享的时间和活动，社会支持，集体自尊以及解决冲突的方式。这种概念化为人们与群体的心理联系的本质提供了新的见解。
Aspects of people's identification with groups may be understood by borrowing theoretical ideas and measurement strategies from research on attachment in close relationships. People have mental models of the self as a group member and of groups as sources of identity and esteem. These models affect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to group membership. Three studies show that two dimensions of attachment to groups, attachment anxiety and avoidance, can be assessed with good reliability, validity, and over-time stability. These factors are distinct from relationship attachment and from other measures of group identification. Group attachment predicts several important outcomes, including emotions concerning the group, time and activities shared with a group, social support, collective self-esteem, and ways of resolving conflict. This conceptualization provides new insights into the nature of people's psychological ties to groups.
