This study explored empirically the relationship between developmental history variables and several dimensions of object relations in a sample of 36 female adolescent inpatients. The results document the importance of preoedipal experience, the relationship with the mother, and continuity of attachments in shaping object relations. In addition, the data point to the importance of distinguishing different dimensions of object relations, such as the affective quality of the object world and the logic and accuracy of attributions, which may have different developmental correlates. The findings also suggest the impact of sexual abuse, typically a postoedipal experience, on enduring object-relational processes.
本研究以36名住院女性青少年为样本，实证探究了发展历史变量与客体关系若干维度之间的关系。研究结果证明了前俄狄浦斯期经历、与母亲的关系以及依恋的连续性在塑造客体关系中的重要性。此外，数据表明区分客体关系的不同维度很重要，比如客体世界的情感特质以及归因的逻辑性和准确性，这些维度可能有不同的发展关联因素。研究结果还表明，性虐待（通常是俄狄浦斯期后的经历）对持久的客体关系过程有影响。
