The authors examined the relation between dimensions of attachment and internalizing and externalizing problems in 15- to 16-year-old adolescents (n = 62) who completed the Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ; J. Feeney, P. Noller, & M. Hanrahan, 1994) and the Youth Self-Report (YSR; T. M. Achenbach, 1991). In total, the ASQ dimensions accounted for 48% of the variance in scores on the broad YSR internalizing problem scale. Three ASQ dimensions (confidence, discomfort with closeness, preoccupation with relationships) accounted for unique variance. Girls exhibited higher problem scores than did boys even when the authors considered ASQ scores. The authors observed comparable results for the anxious/depressed subscales. The confidence, discomfort, and preoccupation dimensions predicted scores on the withdrawn subscale. The authors observed weak relations or no relations between results on the ASQ and the externalizing problems scale. In conclusion, dimensions of attachment are powerful predictors of internalizing problems in adolescents. The authors discussed the potential cause and effect relationship between attachment variables and self-reported problems.
作者们对15至16岁青少年（n = 62）的依恋维度与内化和外化问题之间的关系进行了研究，这些青少年完成了依恋风格问卷（ASQ；J. 费尼、P. 诺勒和M. 汉拉汉，1994年）以及青少年自我报告（YSR；T. M. 阿肯巴克，1991年）。总体而言，ASQ维度占YSR广泛内化问题量表得分方差的48%。ASQ的三个维度（自信、对亲密关系的不适、对人际关系的过度关注）解释了独特的方差。即使作者考虑了ASQ得分，女孩的问题得分仍高于男孩。作者在焦虑/抑郁子量表上观察到了类似的结果。自信、不适和过度关注维度预测了退缩子量表的得分。作者观察到ASQ结果与外化问题量表之间的关系较弱或无关系。总之，依恋维度是青少年内化问题的有力预测指标。作者们讨论了依恋变量与自我报告问题之间潜在的因果关系。
