在50名非精神病性精神障碍患者和50名匹配的对照组中检查了主要组（与之有互动和承诺的人）的大小和利用率。检验的假设是，患者的主要群体规模较小，与其成员的接触较少，与其互动的情感质量较差;这种缺陷在与主要依恋人物的交易中最为明显。研究发现，患者和正常人在一起的时间是一样的，但更多的时间是情感上不愉快的。他们的好朋友更少，与家庭以外的人接触更少。他们的依恋数字较少，几乎一半的人报告说，他们要么只有一个，要么他们最近没有接触过那些确实存在的替代品。大部分病人认为他们的主要依恋数字给他们的支持不足。解释这些数据的复杂性进行了讨论。
The size and utilization of the primary group (those with whom one has interaction and commitment) was examined in 50 patients with non-psychotic psychiatric disorder and 50 matched controls. The hypotheses tested were that the patients would have a smaller size of primary group, less contact with its members and an inferior affective quality of interaction with it; and that this deficiency would be most marked in transactions with the principal attachment figure. Patients were found to spend the same amount of time as normals with their primary group, but proportionately more of that time was affectively unpleasant. They had fewer good friends and fewer contacts with persons outside the household. They had fewer attachment figures, almost one half of them reporting that either they had only one, or that they had had no recent contact with those alternatives that did exist. The majority of patients considered that their principal attachment figures gave them insufficient support. The complexity of interpreting these data is discussed.
