Research examining the relationship between adult attachment styles and exploratory behavior has shown that anxious and avoidant attachment styles are negatively related to exploration. However, little research has been conducted on the mediation process between adult attachment styles and exploration. Given that perceived social support has been shown to be the basis for secure attachment and may be related to exploration behavior, the current study examines whether perceived social support mediates the relationship between adult attachment and exploration. University students in Taiwan (N = 168) completed questionnaires that assessed attachment styles; perceived social support from their father, mother, and best friend; and their intellectual, social, and environmental exploration. Our results revealed that perceived social support mediates the relationship between avoidant attachment and exploration behavior.
研究考察了成人依恋风格与探索性行为之间的关系，结果表明，焦虑型依恋和回避型依恋与探索性行为呈负相关。然而，关于成人依恋风格与探索之间的中介过程的研究较少。鉴于感知到的社会支持被认为是安全依恋的基础，并且可能与探索行为有关，本研究检验了感知到的社会支持是否在成人依恋与探索之间起中介作用。台湾的大学生（N=168）完成了评估依恋风格、来自父亲、母亲和最好的朋友的感知社会支持以及他们的智力、社会和环境探索的问卷。我们的结果表明，感知到的社会支持在回避依恋与探索行为之间起中介作用。
