Few studies have examined stability and change in attachment during adolescence. This 5-year longitudinal study (a) examined whether prototype or revisionist developmental dynamics better characterized patterns of stability and change in adolescent attachment (at T1, N = 176; M = 14.0 years, SD = 0.9), (b) tested potential moderators of prototype-like attachment stability, and (c) compared attachment stability in adolescence to stability in adulthood. The results supported the prototype model, which assumes that there is a stable, enduring factor underlying stability and change in attachment. Exploratory moderation analyses revealed that family conflict, parental separation or divorce, minority status, and male sex might undermine the prototype-like stability of adolescent attachment. Stability of attachment was lower in adolescence relative to adulthood.
鲜有研究考察了青少年时期依恋的稳定性和变化。本项为期 5 年的纵向研究（a）检验了原型或修正发展动态是否更好地描述了青少年依恋的稳定性和变化模式（在 T1，N=176；M=14.0 岁，SD=0.9），（b）检验了原型依恋稳定性的潜在调节因素，以及（c）比较了青少年期和成年期的依恋稳定性。结果支持了原型模型，该模型假设依恋的稳定性和变化存在一个稳定的、持久的因素。探索性调节分析显示，家庭冲突、父母离异或分居、少数族裔身份和男性性别可能会破坏青少年依恋的原型稳定性。与成年期相比，青少年期的依恋稳定性较低。
