先前的研究已经建立了早期消极的亲子关系和与抑郁症风险相关的认知方式之间的联系。在试图解释这种联系时，一些理论家提出，依恋不安全感可能起着关键的中介作用。本研究探讨了青少年对主要照顾者的看法与消极认知风格（即，低自尊，功能失调的态度，和一个消极的归因风格），并测试这些关系是否介导的依恋不安全感。从134名高中生的结果表明，不利的父母往往有更多的负面影响，女孩的认知风格相比，男孩和父母之间的关联和认知风格在很大程度上是介导的依恋不安全感。认为父母是挑剔和完美主义者的青少年倾向于报告不安全的依恋风格，其特征是难以接近他人和担心被遗弃，反过来，这些依恋不安全的维度似乎有助于低自尊，功能失调的态度和消极的归因风格。
Prior research has established a link between negative early parent-child relationships and cognitive styles related to risk for depression. In attempting to explain this association, several theorists have proposed that attachment insecurity may play a key mediating role. The present study examined the relationships between adolescents' perceptions of their primary caregivers and negative cognitive styles (i.e., low self-esteem, dysfunctional attitudes, and a negative attributional style), and tested whether these relations were mediated by attachment insecurity. Results from 134 high-school students suggested that adverse parenting tends to have a more negative effect on cognitive style among girls compared to boys and that the association between parenting and cognitive style is largely mediated by attachment insecurity. Adolescents who perceive their parents as critical and perfectionistic tend to report insecure attachment styles characterized by difficulties getting close to others and fears about abandonment, and in turn, these dimensions of attachment insecurity appear to contribute to low self-esteem, dysfunctional attitudes and a negative attributional style.
