This investigation examined the structure of reflective functioning (RF) - an understanding of the links between mental states and behaviors - and adult attachment scales. Both RF and traditional adult attachment scales were coded based on 194 prebirth Adult Attachment Interviews (AAI). Correlational and factor analyses indicated considerable overlap between RF and traditional AAI coding. Exploratory factor analyses of RF and AAI state-of-mind scales indicated that RF loaded, along with coherence of mind, on the primary factor distinguishing between individuals categorized as secure and dismissing. These findings indicate substantial overlap between RF and AAI scales; however, the magnitude of the correlations between these scales indicates that they are not redundant.
本研究考察了反思功能(RF)的结构——对心理状态与行为之间联系的理解——以及成人依恋量表。基于194次产前成人依恋访谈(AAI)对RF和传统成人依恋量表进行了编码。相关分析和因素分析表明,RF与传统AAI编码之间存在相当大的重叠。对RF和AAI心理状态量表的探索性因素分析表明,RF与心理连贯性一起,在区分被归类为安全型和疏离型个体的主要因素上有载荷。这些发现表明RF与AAI量表之间存在大量重叠;然而,这些量表之间相关性的大小表明它们并非冗余。
