In this study, the validity of a self-report measure of children's perceived attachment security (the Kerns Security Scale) was tested using adolescents. With regards to predictive validity, the Security Scale was significantly associated with (1) observed mother-adolescent interactions during conflict and (2) parent- and teacher-rated social competence. With regards to convergent validity, the Security Scale was significantly associated with all subscales of the Adult Attachment Scale (i.e., Depend, Anxiety, and Close) as measured 3 years later. Further, these links were found even after controlling for mother-child relationship quality as assessed by the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), and chi-square difference tests indicated that the Security Scale was generally a stronger predictor as compared to the IPPA. These results suggest that the Security Scale can be used to assess perceived attachment security across both childhood and adolescence, and thus could contribute significantly to developmental research during this period.
在这项研究中，使用青少年测试了一种儿童感知依恋安全性的自我报告测量工具（Kerns 安全感量表）的有效性。就预测有效性而言，安全感量表与（1）观察到的冲突期间母亲与青少年的互动，以及（2）父母和教师评定的社交能力显著相关。就聚合有效性而言，3 年后测量的成人依恋量表（即依赖、焦虑和亲密）的所有分量表与安全感量表显著相关。此外，即使在控制了由父母和同伴依恋量表（IPPA）评估的母子关系质量之后，这些关联仍然存在，卡方差异检验表明，与 IPPA 相比，安全感量表通常是一个更强的预测指标。这些结果表明，安全感量表可用于评估儿童期和青春期的感知依恋安全性，因此可以为这一时期的发展研究做出重大贡献。
