Attachment security and relationship outcomes in adult adoptees: The moderating effects of family experiences and recent relationship events.

人际关系对幸福和社会结构至关重要;因此，维持令人满意的关系所涉及的因素至关重要。 成年被收养者的关系经历值得特别关注。 这些人失去了通常与之形成依恋关系的主要人;此外，由于立法的变化，越来越多的人面临着与寻找亲生父母有关的问题。 这些研究基于成人依恋理论，代表了第一个系统地研究收养、家庭经历、依恋安全和关系结果之间联系的研究项目。 这项研究对收养和收养后咨询的政策和实践具有影响。

Personal relationships are vital to well-being and to the structure of society; hence, factors involved in maintaining satisfying relationships are of prime importance. The relationship experiences of adult adoptees deserve particular attention. These individuals have lost the major persons with whom attachments normally form; further, given legislative changes, an increasing number are facing issues related to the search for birth parents. These studies, based on adult attachment theory, represent the first research program to systematically examine the links among adoption, family experiences, attachment security and relationship outcomes. The research has implications for policy and practice regarding adoption and post-adoption counselling.
