在临床转诊的儿童中，男孩和那些母子关系紊乱的儿童往往表现出最不适应的外化轨迹；然而，还需要进一步的研究来检验这些发现是否适用于社区样本。因此，在六个时间点对235名社区儿童（106名男孩）进行了随访，从6岁到15岁。以母子依恋为定常协变量的多组线性生长曲线拟合数据，探索男孩和女孩的外化轨迹。结果显示，男孩的初始外化水平高于女孩，随着时间的推移，儿童的症状通常会下降。不同依恋类型的女孩和男孩在初始外化水平上没有显著的轨迹差异；然而，有回避型依恋（有抵抗型依恋倾向）的男孩在纵向上经历了外化症状的急剧下降。讨论了干预和预防的意义。
In clinically referred children, boys and those with disorganized mother–child attachments tend to show the most maladaptive externalizing trajectories; however, additional research is necessary to test whether these findings hold in a community sample. Therefore, 235 community children (106 boys) were followed from ages 6 to 15 years across six time points. Multiple-group linear growth curves with mother–child attachment as a time-invariant covariate were fit to the data to explore externalizing trajectories for boys and girls. Results showed that boys had higher initial externalizing levels than girls, and children generally experienced a decline in symptoms over time. No significant trajectory differences were found for girls, and boys with different attachment classifications did not differ on their initial externalizing levels; however, boys with avoidant attachments (with resistant attachments trending) experienced a steeper decline in externalizing symptoms longitudinally. Implications for intervention and prevention are discussed.
