为了探讨依恋组织在青少年时期的意义和功能,本研究考察了131名中危青少年依恋组织与心理社会功能多个领域的关系。使用成人依恋访谈对依恋组织进行评估;从父母、青少年及其同龄人那里获得了多项功能指标。青少年在依恋体验话语组织中表现出的安全感与同伴的能力、较低水平的内化行为以及同伴和母亲较低水平的偏差行为有关。专注于依恋体验,在愤怒或弥漫和不集中的讨论依恋体验,被认为是与更高水平的内化和偏差行为。这些关系通常仍然存在,即使其他依恋相关的结构,以前曾与青少年功能的分析中的协变。结果被解释为建议依恋组织在青少年心理社会发展的各个方面的重要作用。
To explore the meaning and function of attachment organization during adolescence, its relation to multiple domains of psychosocial functioning was examined in a sample of 131 moderately at-risk adolescents. Attachment organization was assessed using the Adult Attachment interview; multiple measures of functioning were obtained from parents, adolescents, and their peers. Security displayed in adolescents' organization of discourse about attachment experiences was related to competence with peers las reported by peers), lower levels of internalizing behaviors las reported by adolescents), and lower levels of deviant behavior las reported by peers and by mothers). Preoccupation with attachment experiences, seen in angry or diffuse and unfocused discussion of attachment experiences, was linked to higher levels of both internalizing and deviant behaviors. These relations generally remained even when other attachment-related constructs that had been previously related to adolescent functioning were covaried in analyses. Results are interpreted as suggesting an important role for attachment organization in a wide array of aspects of adolescent psychosocial development.
