这项研究考察了140名儿童(69名男孩和71名女孩；年龄从6到14岁)的不安全依恋和抑郁之间的关系，这些儿童的父母都有重大抑郁发作的病史。此外，我们还考察了这种关系是否受到过度寻求安慰的影响。儿童完成了评估对父母的不安全依恋、过度寻求安慰和当前抑郁症状的测量。此外，儿童和他们的父母参加了一项半结构化临床访谈，评估儿童目前和过去的抑郁症状和发作史。与假设一致的是，同时表现出高度不安全依恋和过度寻求安慰的儿童比只拥有其中一种或两种都不具备的儿童目前的抑郁症状水平更高。此外，即使在控制了目前的抑郁症状之后，不安全依恋和过度安抚的交互作用也与既往病史和更严重的抑郁发作有关。
This study examined the relation between insecure attachment and depression in a sample of 140 children (69 boy's and 71 girls; ages 6 to 14) whose parents have a history of major depressive episodes. In addition, we examined whether this relation was moderated by excessive reassurance seeking. Children completed measures assessing insecure attachment to parents, excessive reassurance seeking, and current depressive symptoms. In addition, children and their parents participated in a semi-structured clinical interview assessing children's current and past history of depressive symptoms and episodes. In line with hypotheses, children who exhibited high levels of both insecure attachment and excessive reassurance seeking experienced higher levels of current depressive symptoms than children who possessed only one or neither of these interpersonal risk factors. Furthermore, the interaction of insecure attachment with excessive reassurance was associated with a past history and greater severity of depressive episodes even after controlling for current depressive symptoms.
