This study explored possible differences in adult attachment style dimensions between women with gay or bisexual fathers (n = 68) and women with heterosexual fathers (n = 68) using a revised version of the Adult Attachment Scale (Collins & Read, 1990b). Data analysis revealed highly significant differences between groups on all three adult attachment dimensions. Women with gay or bisexual fathers were significantly less comfortable with closeness and intimacy (t = 5.264, P = .0001), less able to trust and depend on others (t = 6.621, P = .0001), and experienced more anxiety in relationships (t = 4.368, P = .0001) than women with heterosexual fathers. Theoretical and methodological issues, conclusions, and implications related to the findings are discussed.
本研究使用成人依恋量表（Collins & Read, 1990b）的修订版，探讨了有同性恋或双性恋父亲的女性（n=68）和有异性恋父亲的女性（n=68）之间成人依恋风格维度可能存在的差异。数据分析显示，两组在所有三个成人依恋维度上存在显著差异。有同性恋或双性恋父亲的女性在亲密和亲密关系方面明显不自在（t=5.264，P=.0001），不太能够信任和依赖他人（t=6.621，P=.0001），并且在人际关系中感到更多的焦虑（t=4.368，P=.0001），而有异性恋父亲的女性则没有。讨论了与研究结果相关的理论和方法问题、结论和意义。
