In two experimental studies, we explored the role of attachment in predicting emotional reactivity after frustration induction. In the first study, using a cognitive frustration task, we examined in a college sample (N = 134) how attachment styles related to the experience and expression of emotions after frustration induction. In the second study, we investigated in college students (N = 198) the effect of conscious priming of the secure base schema on mood disturbance after the performance of a cognitive frustration task. Results showed that individuals experienced and expressed emotions after frustration induction independent of their attachment styles. Conscious priming of the secure base script attenuated self-reported emotional reactivity after frustration induction independent of individuals' attachment styles. These findings suggest that the mechanism of attachment-related emotional reactivity might not pertain to frustration during an unsolvable cognitive task, but that the activation of the sense of having a secure base is useful in reducing mood disturbance in the context of a frustrating performance task.
在两项实验研究中，我们探讨了依恋在预测挫折诱发后的情绪反应中的作用。在第一项研究中，我们使用认知挫折任务，在大学生样本（N=134）中研究了依恋风格与挫折诱发后的情绪体验和表达之间的关系。在第二项研究中，我们调查了大学生（N=198）在执行认知挫折任务后，安全基地图式的意识启动对情绪困扰的影响。结果表明，个体在挫折后独立于其依恋风格体验和表达情绪。安全基地脚本的意识启动独立于个体的依恋风格，减轻了挫折后自我报告的情绪反应。这些发现表明，依恋相关情绪反应的机制可能与无法解决的认知任务无关，而是在令人沮丧的表现任务中，激活有安全基地的感觉是有用的，可以减少情绪困扰。
