Although the attachment construct refers to a child's tendency to use an attachment figure both as a safe haven in times of distress as well as a secure base from which to explore, approaches to assessing attachment at older ages have focused on safe haven behavior. We tested modified versions of the Friends and Family Interview and the Security Scale Questionnaire to examine separately the correlates of safe haven and secure base support from parents. The main study (n = 107 children, 10-14-year-olds) included both interview and questionnaire assessments of safe haven and secure base support from mothers and fathers. The two methods converged in expected ways, and both showed associations with narrative coherence. Children reported greater safe haven support from mothers and greater secure base support from fathers, suggesting secure base support is a key aspect of father-child attachment. Both mother-child and father-child relationships were related to children's school adjustment and coping.
尽管依恋结构指的是儿童在痛苦时将依恋对象用作安全港湾以及用作探索的安全基地的倾向，但评估大龄儿童依恋的方法主要集中在安全港湾行为上。我们测试了《朋友和家庭访谈》及《安全感量表问卷》的修订版，以分别考察来自父母的安全港湾和安全基地支持的相关因素。主要研究（n = 107名儿童，年龄在10至14岁之间）包括对母亲和父亲给予的安全港湾和安全基地支持进行访谈和问卷调查评估。两种方法以预期的方式趋同，并且都显示出与叙事连贯性有关联。儿童报告称从母亲那里获得了更多的安全港湾支持，从父亲那里获得了更多的安全基地支持，这表明安全基地支持是父子依恋的一个关键方面。母子关系和父子关系都与儿童的学校适应及应对能力有关。
