本研究探讨了稳定的依恋安全和代表性，从婴儿期到成年早期的样本最初选择贫困和高风险的不良发展结果。这项研究的参与者是57名年轻人，他们是正在进行的高风险样本中的发育和适应前瞻性研究的一部分。在婴儿期，我们使用安斯沃思奇怪情境（Ainsworth & Wittig）对依恋进行了评估;在19岁时，我们使用伯克利成人依恋访谈（乔治、卡普兰和梅因）对依恋进行了评估。依恋的连续性和不连续性的可能相关性来自研究过程中对参与者及其母亲的评估。结果没有提供证据表明婴儿和成人之间的依恋显着的连续性在这个样本中，许多参与者过渡到不安全感。然而，证据表明，可能存在合法的中断。从婴儿期到成年期的依恋分类的连续性和不连续性的相关分析表明，连续和不连续组的儿童虐待，母亲的抑郁症，和家庭功能的基础上，在青春期早期进行了区分。这些结果提供的证据表明，虽然在其他样本中，依恋随着时间的推移是稳定的，但依恋表征容易受到困难和混乱的生活经历的影响。
This study explores the stability of attachment security and representations from infancy to early adulthood in a sample chosen originally for poverty and high risk for poor developmental outcomes. Participants for this study were 57 young adults who are part of an ongoing prospective study of development and adaptation in a high‐risk sample. Attachment was assessed during infancy by using the Ainsworth Strange Situation (Ainsworth & Wittig) and at age 19 by using the Berkeley Adult Attachment Interview (George, Kaplan, & Main). Possible correlates of continuity and discontinuity in attachment were drawn from assessments of the participants and their mothers over the course of the study. Results provided no evidence for significant continuity between infant and adult attachment in this sample, with many participants transitioning to insecurity. The evidence, however, indicated that there might be lawful discontinuity. Analyses of correlates of continuity and discontinuity in attachment classification from infancy to adulthood indicated that the continuous and discontinuous groups were differentiated on the basis of child maltreatment, maternal depression, and family functioning in early adolescence. These results provide evidence that although attachment has been found to be stable over time in other samples, attachment representations are vulnerable to difficult and chaotic life experiences.
