三项前瞻性研究探讨了成人依恋维度与情绪困扰（焦虑和抑郁）症状之间的关系。在所有三项研究中，回避型和焦虑型依恋前瞻性地预测抑郁症状，焦虑型依恋与焦虑症状同时相关。研究2检验了认知风险因素中介模型，研究3检验了人际压力产生中介模型。认知和人际中介过程的支持。认知风险因素途径，包括升高的功能失调的态度和低自尊，具体介导的不安全的依恋和抑郁症的预期海拔之间的关系，但不是焦虑。对于人际压力产生模型，经历额外的人际关系，但不成就，压力源随着时间的推移介导的不安全的依恋和抑郁和焦虑症状的预期海拔之间的关联。研究结果推进了关于为什么这些人际和认知机制解释了不安全依恋的人如何变得抑郁和焦虑的理论和经验知识。
Three prospective studies examined the relation between adult attachment dimensions and symptoms of emotional distress (anxiety and depression). Across all three studies, avoidant and anxious attachment prospectively predicted depressive symptoms, and anxious attachment was associated concurrently with anxiety symptoms. Study 2 tested a cognitive risk factors mediational model, and Study 3 tested an interpersonal stress generation mediational model. Both cognitive and interpersonal mediating processes were supported. The cognitive risk factors pathway, including elevated dysfunctional attitudes and low self-esteem, specifically mediated the relation between insecure attachment and prospective elevations in depression but not anxiety. For the interpersonal stress generation model, experiencing additional interpersonal, but not achievement, stressors over time mediated the association between insecure attachment and prospective elevations in depressive and anxious symptoms. Results advance theory and empirical knowledge about why these interpersonal and cognitive mechanisms explain how insecurely attached people become depressed and anxious.
