在过去的十年里，成人依恋研究的爆炸性增长受到了大学生和痛苦样本的限制。作者使用了一个具有全国代表性的美国成年人样本，研究了社会人口统计学、童年逆境、父母陈述、成人精神病理学和人格特质与成人依恋的关系，试图复制以前的研究结果并扩展理论。成人依恋类型的分布与先前的研究相似：59%安全型，25%回避型和11%焦虑型。成人依恋与几个社会人口学变量相关（例如，收入、年龄、种族）。儿童时期的人际关系逆境与不安全的成人依恋密切相关。各种类型的成人精神病理学和人格特质也与成人依恋密切相关。成人依恋理论的影响和未来的研究进行了讨论。
The explosion of adult attachment research in the last decade has been limited by its reliance on college student and distressed samples. Using a large nationally representative sample of American adults, the authors examined the relation of sociodemographics, childhood adversity, parental representations, adult psychopathology, and personality traits to adult attachment in an effort to replicate previous findings and extend the theory. Distribution of adult attachment styles was similar to that in prior studies: 59% secure, 25% avoidant, and 11% anxious. Adult attachment was associated with several sociodemographic variables (e.g., income, age, race) not previously studied. Childhood adversities of an interpersonal nature were strongly related to insecure adult attachment. Various types of adult psychopathologies and personality traits were also strongly related to adult attachment. Implications for adult attachment theory and future research are discussed.
