Attachment theory posits that early experiences with caregivers are made portable across development in the form of mental representations of attachment experiences. These representations, the secure base script included, are thought to be stable across time. Here, we present data from two studies. Study 1 (141) examined the degree of empirical convergence between the two major measures of secure base script knowledge in Study 2, we examined stability of secure base script knowledge from late adolescence to midlife combining data from both a high- and normative-risk cohort ( = 113). Study 1 revealed evidence for convergent validity ( = .50) and Study 2 revealed moderate rank-order stability ( = .43), which was not moderated by cohort risk status. Results support the validity of secure base script knowledge assessments and prediction that attachment representations show moderate stability across early adulthood and into midlife.
依恋理论认为，早期与照顾者的经历以依恋经历的心理表征的形式在发展过程中具有可转移性。这些表征，包括安全基地脚本，被认为是跨越时间稳定的。在这里，我们呈现了两项研究的数据。研究 1（141 人）检验了两种主要的安全基地脚本知识测量方法之间的实证收敛程度；在研究 2 中，我们结合了高风险和正常风险队列的数据（n=113），从青少年晚期到中年期检验了安全基地脚本知识的稳定性。研究 1 显示了收敛效度（r=.50），研究 2 显示了中等的等级稳定性（r=.43），而队列风险状况并没有调节这种稳定性。结果支持了安全基地脚本知识评估的有效性，并预测了依恋表征在整个成年早期到中年期具有中等的稳定性。
