Attachment theory proposes that the quality of the mother-child tie predicts the quality of a child's other close relationships. The purpose of this study was to test whether security of attachment to mother is related to the quality of a preschooler's best friendships. 33 4-year-old and their best friends participated (mean age = 46 months). Attachment Q-set data were collected to score security of mother-child attachment. Security data were used to classify the friend pairs as secure-secure or secure-insecure. Best friend dyads were observed for a 1-hour free-play session. Each pair's behavior was described with the Dyadic Relationships Q-set, a measure designed to describe the behavior of a pair of children. Secure-secure pairs were more harmonious, less controlling, more responsive, and happier than secure-insecure pairs. The results are related to previous work on attachment and social competence.
依恋理论认为，母婴关系的质量预示着孩子其他亲密关系的质量。本研究的目的是检验与母亲的依恋安全性是否与学龄前儿童最好的友谊质量相关。33名4岁儿童及其最好的朋友参与了研究（平均年龄 = 46个月）。收集依恋Q分类数据以评估母婴依恋的安全性。利用安全性数据将朋友对分为安全-安全型或安全-不安全型。对最好的朋友二元组进行了1小时的自由玩耍观察。用二元关系Q分类对每对孩子的行为进行描述，该量表旨在描述一对儿童的行为。安全-安全型的对子比安全-不安全型的对子更和谐、控制欲更低、反应更积极且更快乐。研究结果与先前关于依恋和社会能力的研究相关。
