This study examined the developmental significance of mothers’ adult attachment representations assessed prenatally with the Adult Attachment Interview in relation to observed maternal sensitivity at 6 months postpartum in an ethnically diverse sample (N = 131 African American; N = 128 European American). Multiple group confirmatory factor analyses provided evidence for partial measurement invariance of a two-factor dismissing and preoccupied latent structure of adult attachment across the two ethnic groups of women. African American women showed modest elevations on the preoccupied factor relative to European American women. Although the dismissing factor showed an empirically equivalent negative association with maternal sensitivity in both ethnic groups, this effect was reduced to marginal significance when controlling for maternal socioeconomic status.
本研究通过成人依恋访谈对产前评估的母亲成人依恋表征的发展意义进行了考察，该访谈涉及一个种族多样化的样本（131名非裔美国女性；128名欧裔美国女性），与产后6个月观察到的母亲敏感性相关。多组验证性因素分析为成人依恋的一个由忽视和担忧组成的双因素潜在结构在这两个种族的女性群体间具有部分测量不变性提供了证据。相对于欧裔美国女性，非裔美国女性在担忧因素上有适度升高。虽然在两个种族群体中，忽视因素与母亲敏感性均呈现出经验上等效的负相关，但在控制母亲社会经济地位后，这种效应降至边缘显著水平。
