本研究在不同种族的样本（N = 131名非裔美国人；N = 128名欧洲裔美国人）中，通过成人依恋访谈来评估母亲的成人依恋表征与产后6个月观察到的母亲敏感性之间的发展意义。多组验证性因子分析为两民族女性成人依恋的双因素忽视和显性潜在结构的部分测量不变性提供了证据。非裔美国女性相对于欧裔美国女性在“专注因素”上表现出适度的提升。尽管在两个种族中，忽视因素显示出与母亲敏感性的经验相等的负相关，但在控制母亲的社会经济地位时，这种影响降低到边际显著性。
This study examined the developmental significance of mothers' adult attachment representations assessed prenatally with the Adult Attachment Interview in relation to observed maternal sensitivity at 6 months postpartum in an ethnically diverse sample (N = 131 African American; N = 128 European American). Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses provided evidence for partial measurement invariance of a two-factor dismissing and preoccupied latent structure of adult attachment across the two ethnic groups of women. African American women showed modest elevations on the preoccupied factor relative to European American women. Although the dismissing factor showed an empirically equivalent negative association with maternal sensitivity in both ethnic groups, this effect was reduced to marginal significance when controlling for maternal socioeconomic status.
