We previously reported that fearful attachment mediated associations of childhood maltreatment with subclinical psychotic phenomena. At an eight-year follow-up, we aimed to replicate and extend this finding by examining the mediating role of disorganized attachment. Participants were 169 young adults who completed baseline and eight-year follow-up questionnaires. Physical/emotional maltreatment was prospectively associated with paranoid beliefs and positive schizotypy. For paranoid beliefs, fearful and disorganized attachment were significant mediators in separate models, whereas only disorganized was significant when examining all attachment styles concurrently. For positive schizotypy, no mediation was found. Findings support psychological models of paranoia and may inform intervention efforts.
我们之前的报告表明，恐惧型依恋中介了儿童期虐待与亚临床精神病现象之间的关联。在八年的随访中，我们旨在通过检查非组织化依恋的中介作用来复制和扩展这一发现。参与者是 169 名年轻成年人，他们完成了基线和八年随访问卷。身体/情感虐待与妄想信念和阳性精神分裂症特质呈前瞻性相关。对于妄想信念，在单独的模型中，恐惧和非组织化依恋是显著的中介，而当同时检查所有依恋类型时，只有非组织化依恋是显著的。对于阳性精神分裂症特质，没有发现中介作用。研究结果支持妄想的心理模型，并可能为干预努力提供信息。
