Older adults tend to have more avoidant attachment styles, which may make them more vulnerable to becoming isolated and lonely and increase the risk for developing mental health problems. This study used intensive interviews and logistic regression to explore how insecure attachment styles were associated with poor social support, isolation, loneliness and depression. Avoidantly, attached adults were at an increased risk for social isolation. Specifically, older adults with an Angry-Dismissive style were more likely to be lonely and experience mental health problems. Attachment style should be taken into consideration when promoting healthy aging.
老年人往往有更多的回避型依恋风格，这可能使他们更容易变得孤立和孤独，并增加心理健康问题的风险。本研究采用深入访谈和逻辑回归探讨了不安全依恋风格与不良社会支持、孤立、孤独和抑郁之间的关系。回避型依恋的成年人面临更大的社交隔离风险。具体来说，具有愤怒-回避风格的老年人更容易感到孤独和出现心理健康问题。在促进健康老龄化时，应该考虑到依恋风格。
