通过要求受试者考虑一系列潜在威胁的依恋相关问题，成人依恋访谈（AAI）允许评估调节依恋系统的不同策略。这些策略可以沿着安全/焦虑和失活/过度激活2个维度进行评估。最大的推理飞跃可能是将策略描述为去激活。例如，使用去激活策略的个体经常报告与父母的关系非常积极，显示出对依恋记忆的有限回忆，并淡化早期依恋经历的重要性。如果这些描述性特征是由一种需要将注意力从依恋信息上转移开的策略引导的，那么采用这种策略的受试者在依恋访谈中应该会经历冲突或抑制。在本研究中，皮肤电导水平监测50名大学生在基线期间和整个附件采访。采用失活策略的受试者显示，从基线到要求他们回忆父母分离、拒绝和威胁经历的问题，皮肤电导水平显着增加。这一发现支持了这样一个观点，即个体采用去激活依恋策略在依恋访谈中会经历冲突或抑制。
By asking the subject to consider a host of potentially threatening attachment-related issues, the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) allows an assessment of different strategies for regulating the attachment system. These strategies can be assessed along the 2 dimensions of security/anxiety and deactivation/hyperactivation. The greatest inferential leaps may be in characterizing strategies as deactivating. For example, individuals using deactivating strategies often report extremely positive relationships with parents, display restricted recall of attachment memories, and play down the significance of early attachment experiences. If these descriptive features are guided by a strategy that requires diverting attention from attachment information, subjects employing this strategy should experience conflict or inhibition during the Attachment Interview. In the present study, skin conductance levels were monitored for 50 college students during a baseline period and throughout the Attachment Interview. Subjects employing deactivating strategies showed marked increases in skin conductance levels from baseline to questions asking them to recall experiences of separation, rejection, and threat from parents. This finding supports the notion that individuals employing deactivating attachment strategies experience conflict or inhibition during the Attachment Interview.
