Functions and Meanings ofAttachments in Close Relationships

本项目旨在在依恋理论与社会网络理论之间架起一座桥梁，即在前人对亲密关系本质研究的基础上，构建一个完整的亲密关系理论。本报告由三部分组成。依恋理论和社会网络理论的共性和差异通过回顾他们之前的研究来澄清亲密关系的哪些方面已经被研究过，哪些方面还没有被充分了解。在此基础上，本文构建了情感关系模型，以解决两种理论对个体赋予不同社会角色的研究不足的问题；(2)个体对由多个社会形象构成的社会关系框架有自己的表征；(3)由于个体为自己选择合适的人物，因此必然存在社会关系内部框架的个体模式。2 .对情感关系模型的评估工具（情感关系量表和图片情感关系量表）和不同的依恋评估工具（陌生情境程序、依恋娃娃游戏、成人依恋访谈、依恋类型）进行了仔细的考察。从幼儿到老年人的四项实证研究表明了情感关系模型的有效性。最后，讨论了将两种亲密关系理论作为一个整体整合到情感关系模型中。

This project aimed to build a bridge between Attachment theory and Social Networks theory, that is, to construct an integrated theory of close relationships based on previous research on the nature of close relationships. The present report consists of 3 parts.1. Commonalities and differences of Attachment theory and Social Networks theory were examined by reviewing their previous studies to clarify which aspects of close relationships had already been studied and which had not been fully learned. Then, the Affective Relationships Model, constructed by the present author, was proposed to resolve problems that the two theories had not sufficiently studied the fact, that is, (1) individuals assign different social roles to each of the multiple figures; (2) individuals have their own representation of the framework of social relationships consisting of the multiple social figures; and (3) because individuals select appropriate figures for themselves, there must be individual patterns of the internal framework of social relationships.2. Each of the assessments instruments of Attachment (Strange Situation Procedure; Attachment Doll Play; Adult Attachment Interview; Attachment style) and these of the Affective Relationships Model (Affective Relationships Scale and Picture Affective Relationships Scale) was carefully examined.3. Four empirical studies from young children to elderly people showed the validity of the Affective Relationships Model. Finally, it was discussed that we could merge the two theories of close relationships into the Affective Relationships Model as an integrated theory.
