Much of the current evidence regarding the associations between attachment states of mind and parenting quality is based on concurrent or short-term longitudinal studies with samples of adults. Using data from the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation, we examined the predictive significance of the coherence of participants' discourse during the Adult Attachment Interview, assessed at ages 19 and 26 years, for parenting quality measured using observations (administered when participants' children were 24 and 42 months old) and interview ratings (collected when parents were 32 years old). Results indicated that associations between AAI coherence and parenting quality varied based on when adult attachment was assessed, as well as when and how parenting quality was assessed. Coherence of mind measured at age 19 years predicted observed supportive parenting when it was assessed when participants were in their late-20s and early-30s, a developmental period when parenting can be conceptualized as a salient developmental task, but not before. In contrast, coherence of mind measured at age 26 years predicted both observed and interview-ratings of supportive parenting.
目前许多关于依恋心理状态与养育质量之间关联的证据，都是基于对成年人样本的横向研究或短期纵向研究。利用明尼苏达风险与适应纵向研究的数据，我们考察了在成人依恋访谈中，参与者在19岁和26岁时话语连贯性的预测意义，这些话语连贯性是通过观察（在参与者孩子24个月和42个月大时进行）和访谈评分（在父母32岁时收集）来衡量养育质量的。结果表明，成人依恋访谈的连贯性与养育质量之间的关联，因成人依恋的评估时间以及养育质量的评估时间和方式而异。19岁时测量的心理连贯性，预测了在参与者接近30岁时进行评估时观察到的支持性养育行为，这是一个养育可被视为一项突出发展任务的发展阶段，但在此之前则不然。相比之下，26岁时测量的心理连贯性，预测了观察到的支持性养育行为以及访谈评分中的支持性养育行为。
