Following the theoretical propositions of the Emotion Regulation model of attachment, the current study investigated whether attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance might play a differential contributing role in the development of bulimic symptoms, through assumed differences in adopting specific maladaptive emotion regulation strategies in a sample of adolescents. Developmentally appropriate self-report questionnaires were administered to a community sample of 397 adolescents (Mean age: 14.02; 62.7% female) and this at 2 time points with a 1-year time lag. Results provided longitudinal evidence for the Emotion Regulation model of attachment in confirming the differential contributing role of the attachment dimensions on the development of bulimic symptoms in a sample of adolescents. More specifically, attachment anxiety seemed to be related to bulimic symptoms through rumination, while attachment avoidance through emotional control. These results may have clinical implications for assessment and treatment of bulimic symptoms in adolescents.
基于依恋的情绪调节模型的理论假设，本研究在青少年样本中，通过假设采用特定的适应不良情绪调节策略，探究了依恋焦虑和依恋回避是否会通过假设的差异对暴食症状的发展产生不同的影响。对 397 名青少年（平均年龄：14.02；62.7%为女性）的社区样本进行了发展适当的自我报告问卷调查，并在 1 年的时间间隔内进行了 2 次测试。研究结果为依恋的情绪调节模型提供了纵向证据，证实了在青少年样本中，依恋维度对暴食症状发展的不同影响。具体而言，依恋焦虑似乎通过沉思与暴食症状有关，而依恋回避则通过情绪控制与暴食症状有关。这些结果可能对青少年暴食症状的评估和治疗具有临床意义。
