Correlations between anxious attachment and neuroticism (usually about .40 to .50) prompt questions about whether self-reported anxious attachment captures a key construct in attachment theory or if it reflects a more general personality trait instead. A college sample of late adolescents and young adults (N = 287) was used to show that questionnaire measures of neuroticism and anxious attachment do not have a simple linear association; instead, neuroticism and anxious attachment have a more complex dynamic relationship that is moderated by avoidant attachment, an attachment style that reflects an interpersonally derived strategy for affect regulation. The association between neuroticism and anxious attachment is further moderated by conscientiousness, a personality trait that may reflect a more biologically mediated system of affect regulation. These separate moderating effects and the different affect regulation systems they reflect are discussed in the context of longstanding debates about how personality traits and attachment styles influence each other.
焦虑依恋与神经质之间的相关性（通常在0.40至0.50左右）引发了一些问题，即自我报告的焦虑依恋是捕捉了依恋理论中的一个关键概念，还是仅仅反映了一种更普遍的人格特质。以一个由青少年晚期和青年成年人组成的大学样本（N = 287）为例，研究表明，神经质和焦虑依恋的问卷测量结果并非简单的线性关联；相反，神经质和焦虑依恋存在更复杂的动态关系，这种关系受到回避依恋的调节，回避依恋是一种反映从人际关系中衍生出的情感调节策略的依恋风格。尽责性也进一步调节了神经质与焦虑依恋之间的关联，尽责性是一种可能反映了更多由生物介导的情感调节系统的人格特质。在关于人格特质和依恋风格如何相互影响的长期争论背景下，讨论了这些不同的调节作用及其所反映的不同情感调节系统。
