The attachment security of children in 30 gay father families, 29 lesbian mother families and 38 heterosexual parent families was investigated using the Friends and Family Interview (FFI) at the second phase of a longitudinal study. Children in gay father families showed significantly higher levels of secure-autonomous attachment than children in heterosexual parent families, significantly lower levels of preoccupied attachment than children in either lesbian mother or heterosexual parent families, and significantly lower levels of disorganised attachment than children in heterosexual parent families. For children in gay father families, stepwise multiple regression revealed that neither hyperactivity nor emotional symptoms at Phase 1 were predictive of disorganisation at Phase 2. However, when entered alone, Phase 1 emotional symptoms predicted Phase 2 disorganisation. The results indicate that adopted children in gay father families are at least as likely to be securely attached as children in lesbian mother or heterosexual parent families.
使用纵向研究第二阶段的“朋友和家庭访谈（FFI）”调查了 30 个同性恋父亲家庭、29 个女同性恋母亲家庭和 38 个异性恋父母家庭中儿童的 Attachment security。与异性恋父母家庭的儿童相比，同性恋父亲家庭的儿童表现出更高水平的安全自主依恋，与女同性恋母亲或异性恋父母家庭的儿童相比，表现出更低水平的依恋，与异性恋父母家庭的儿童相比，表现出更低水平的依恋。对于同性恋父亲家庭的孩子，逐步多元回归显示，第一阶段的多动或情绪症状均不能预测第二阶段的失序。然而，当单独进入时，第一阶段的情绪症状预测第二阶段的失序。结果表明，被收养的同性恋父亲家庭的孩子至少与女同性恋母亲或异性恋父母家庭的孩子一样有可能安全依恋。
