三项研究旨在探讨成人依恋的相关因素。研究一以Hazan和Shaver(1987)的分类测量为基础,编制了一个18个项目的成人依恋类型量表。因素分析揭示了这一衡量标准的三个维度:一个人对亲密的舒适程度,感觉他或她可以依赖他人的程度,以及对被遗弃或不被爱等事情的焦虑或恐惧程度。研究二探讨了依恋维度与自我和他人工作模式的关系。依恋维度被发现与自尊,表现力,工具性,对他人的信任,对人性的信念,和爱的风格。研究3探讨了依恋风格维度在三个方面的作用:伴侣匹配的依恋维度;一个人的伴侣的依恋和一个人的父母的依恋风格之间的相似性;和关系质量,包括沟通,信任和满意度。证据获得的合作伙伴匹配和一个人的合作伙伴和一个人的父母之间的相似性,特别是对一个人的异性父母。依恋风格的维度与每个合作伙伴如何看待这种关系密切相关,尽管最能预测质量的依恋维度对于男性和女性来说是不同的。对于女性来说,伴侣对亲密关系的舒适程度是关系质量的最佳预测因素,而对于男性来说,最佳预测因素是伴侣对被遗弃或不被爱的焦虑程度。
Three studies were conducted to examine the correlates of adult attachment. In Study 1, an 18-item scale to measure adult attachment style dimensions was developed based on Hazan and Shaver's (1987) categorical measure. Factor analyses revealed three dimensions underlying this measure: the extent to which an individual is comfortable with closeness, feels he or she can depend on others, and is anxious or fearful about such things as being abandoned or unloved. Study 2 explored the relation between these attachment dimensions and working models of self and others. Attachment dimensions were found to be related to self-esteem, expressiveness, instrumentality, trust in others, beliefs about human nature, and styles of loving. Study 3 explored the role of attachment style dimensions in three aspects of ongoing dating relationships: partner matching on attachment dimensions; similarity between the attachment of one's partner and caregiving style of one's parents; and relationship quality, including communication, trust, and satisfaction. Evidence was obtained for partner matching and for similarity between one's partner and one's parents, particularly for one's opposite-sex parent. Dimensions of attachment style were strongly related to how each partner perceived the relationship, although the dimension of attachment that best predicted quality differed for men and women. For women, the extent to which their partner was comfortable with closeness was the best predictor of relationship quality, whereas the best predictor for men was the extent to which their partner was anxious about being abandoned or unloved.
