The present study examined the link between attachment, social support and well-being in young and older adults. The results from multi-group path analyses showed significant between-group differences in the links between attachment, perceived support and well-being. Anxious attachment and well-being were inversely associated and this was stronger for the younger group than it was for the older group. Avoidant attachment was negatively related to perceived support satisfaction in the older age group only, and perceived support mediated the effects of avoidant attachment on mental health and loneliness in the older group. Generally, perceived satisfaction with support was more strongly related with well-being in older adults. The results point to differential links of insecure attachment styles with perceived support in different life-stages and to related cognitive, emotional and social processes.
本研究探讨了年轻人和老年人的依恋、社会支持与幸福感之间的联系。多组路径分析结果显示，依恋、感知到的支持与幸福感之间的联系存在显著的组间差异。焦虑型依恋与幸福感呈负相关，且在较年轻组中比在较年长组中更为强烈。回避型依恋仅在较年长组中与感知到的支持满意度呈负相关，并且感知到的支持在较年长组中介导了回避型依恋对心理健康和孤独感的影响。总体而言，在老年人中，对支持的感知满意度与幸福感的关联更为紧密。研究结果表明，不安全依恋风格在不同生命阶段与感知到的支持之间存在差异联系，以及相关的认知、情感和社会过程。
