Although a number of measures have been developed to assess parent-child attachments, validity data on middle-childhood measures are lacking. The present study tested attachment-based measures of parent-child relationships designed for the later middle-childhood years (9-12 years of age). Self-reports from children assessed perceptions of security and avoidant and preoccupied coping. Some children also completed a projective interview assessing attachment state of mind. Mothers and fathers reported their willingness to serve as an attachment figure and were rated for responsiveness. Data were collected from a cross-sectional sample of 3rd and 6th graders and their parents. A 2-year follow-up on the younger sample provided data on the stability of the measures. There were modest associations across the different measures and moderate to high stability. The attachment-based measures were also related to teacher ratings of children's school adaptation.
尽管已经开发了许多措施来评估亲子依恋关系，但缺乏关于童年中期测量方法的效度数据。本研究测试了为童年中期后期（9至12岁）设计的基于依恋的亲子关系测量方法。儿童的自我报告评估了安全感以及回避和过度关注应对方式。一些儿童还完成了一项投射性访谈，以评估依恋心理状态。母亲和父亲报告了他们愿意充当依恋对象的意愿，并被评定为反应性。数据来自三年级和六年级学生及其父母的横断面样本。对较年轻样本进行的为期两年的随访提供了测量方法稳定性的数据。不同测量方法之间存在适度关联，且稳定性为中等至高。基于依恋的测量方法也与教师对儿童学校适应情况的评分相关。
