This study examined attachment organization as a moderator of the link between the quality of the adolescents' current friendships and delinquent behavior. Data were gathered from a moderately at-risk sample of 71 ethnically and socioeconomically diverse adolescents. Results revealed a moderating effect of attachment organization (as assessed by the AAI) such that strong and supportive friendships were linked to lower levels of delinquency, but only when adolescents' attachment organization reflected an orientation toward heightened attention to attachment relationships (via preoccupation or via clear lack of dismissal of attachment). These results suggest that attachment organization plays an important role in delineating the conditions under which the qualities of social relationships are likely to be linked to important psychosocial outcomes.
本研究考察了依恋组织作为青少年当前友谊质量与犯罪行为之间联系的调节因素。数据来自71名种族和社会经济背景各异的中度高危青少年样本。结果显示了依恋组织(通过成人依恋访谈评估)的调节作用,即牢固且支持性的友谊与较低水平的犯罪行为相关,但前提是青少年的依恋组织反映出对依恋关系高度关注的倾向(通过过度担忧或明显不存在对依恋的漠视)。这些结果表明,依恋组织在界定社会关系质量可能与重要心理社会结果相关的条件方面起着重要作用。
