两项研究探讨了社会知觉中的依恋风格差异。在研究1中,参与者为假设的关系事件写了开放式的解释,并描述了他们对每个事件的感受和行为。与安全的参与者相比,全神贯注的参与者以更消极的方式解释事件;他们也报告了更多的情绪困扰和可能导致冲突的行为。回避的参与者也提供了负面的解释,但没有报告情绪困扰。路径分析表明,依恋风格的行为差异是由解释模式和情绪困扰介导的。研究2的目的是复制研究1和测试的相对重要性的依恋风格和关系质量预测每个结果。结果表明,这两个变量都是解释的显着预测,但只有依恋风格预测情绪反应。这些发现与具有不同依恋工作模式的成年人倾向于在他们的关系中以不同的方式思考,感受和行为的想法是一致的。
Two studies examined attachment style differences in social perception. In Study 1, participants wrote open-ended explanations for hypothetical relationship events and described how they would feel and behave in response to each event. Compared with secure participants, preoccupied participants explained events in more negative ways; they also reported more emotional distress and behaviors that were likely to lead to conflict. Avoidant participants also provided negative explanations, but did not report emotional distress. Path analysis indicated that attachment style differences in behavior were mediated by explanation patterns and emotional distress. Study 2 was designed to replicate Study 1 and test the relative importance of attachment style and relationship quality to predicting each outcome. Results indicated that both variables were significant predictors of explanations, but only attachment style predicted emotional responses. These findings are consistent with the idea that adults with different working models of attachment are predisposed to think, feel, and behave differently in their relationships.
