A style of coping with stress is described which has been observed in cancer patients and in highly dependent, insecurely attached individuals. This coping style includes the suppression of negative emotions and avoidance of support seeking. It is suggested that this pattern of responses is potentially dysfunctional insofar as it tends to perpetuate distress and may increase vulnerability to a broad range of illnesses. These considerations provide the basis for a provisional conceptual model, which links avoidant attachment style to the regulation of negative affect and to symptoms of psychological and physical ill-health. This is tested on a sample of young adults under stress and predictions from the model are largely supported.
一种应对压力的方式已在癌症患者以及高度依赖、依恋关系不安全的个体中被观察到。这种应对方式包括抑制负面情绪和避免寻求支持。有人认为，这种反应模式可能是功能失调的，因为它往往会使痛苦持续下去，并可能增加患多种疾病的易感性。这些考量为一个临时概念模型提供了基础，该模型将回避型依恋风格与负面情绪调节以及心理和身体不健康症状联系起来。这在处于压力下的年轻成年人样本上进行了测试，模型的预测得到了很大程度的支持。
