Adult attachment style, defense mechanisms, and personal history of abuse was studied in a group of abusive parents. As a group, these parents made unusually high use of the defense of denial; this was especially true of those with a Fearful attachment style. However, the use of Identification was characteristic of those with a Preoccupied attachment style. Further, personal abuse history was related to adult attachment style. Those who reported having been abused as a child were less likely to have a Secure attachment style, and a history of physical or sexual abuse was associated with a Preoccupied style. In general, these findings support the deactivating/hyperactivating defensive theory of Mikulincer et al (Emotion Regulation in Couples and Families: Pathways to Dysfunction and Health. 2006; pp 77-99. Washington (WA): American Psychological Association).
在一组有虐待行为的父母中，研究了成人依恋风格、防御机制和个人虐待史。总体而言，这些父母异常频繁地使用否认防御；对于那些具有恐惧依恋风格的父母来说尤其如此。然而，认同防御的使用是那些具有痴迷依恋风格的父母的特征。此外，个人虐待史与成人依恋风格有关。那些报告童年曾遭受虐待的人不太可能具有安全依恋风格，身体或性虐待史与痴迷风格相关。总体而言，这些发现支持了米库林纳等人的去激活/过度激活防御理论（《夫妻与家庭中的情绪调节：功能失调与健康的途径》。2006年；第77 - 99页。华盛顿（华盛顿州）：美国心理学会）。
