This study examined the effects of attachment style on self-reported posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a population of service members (N=561). Active duty, postdeployment service members completed anonymous questionnaires including 2 measures of adult attachment and the PTSD checklist-military as a measure of PTSD symptoms. Results confirmed the central hypothesis that attachment style was related to reported PTSD symptoms. Secure attachment style was associated with less reported PTSD symptoms and therefore may be involved in mechanisms associated with protection from developing PTSD after experiencing wartime trauma. Results were consistent when tested across continuous and dichotomous assessments that captured diagnostic criteria. This study demonstrates a significant relationship between attachment style and PTSD symptoms within a military population, potentially providing the basis for future research in this area.
本研究调查了依恋风格对一群军人（N = 561）自我报告的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的影响。现役、部署后军人完成了匿名问卷，包括两项成人依恋测量以及作为PTSD症状测量指标的PTSD检查表 - 军事版。结果证实了核心假设，即依恋风格与报告的PTSD症状相关。安全依恋风格与较少报告的PTSD症状相关，因此可能参与了与经历战时创伤后预防PTSD发展相关的机制。当在涵盖诊断标准的连续和二分评估中进行测试时，结果是一致的。本研究证明了军事人群中依恋风格与PTSD症状之间存在显著关系，这可能为该领域未来的研究提供基础。
