The present study, using a sample of Turkish children, aimed to test two attachment-theory predictions: (a) institution-reared children who were separated from their parents at an early age are less likely to have secure attachment schemata than children from two-parent families, and (b) depressive schemata are positively related to insecure attachment schemata and negatively related to secure attachment schemata. Following a systems-theory perspective, we also predicted that the relationship between depression and attachment styles would be stronger for institution-reared children than for children from two-parent families. Hazan and Shaver's (1987) attachment-style items and the Beck Depression Inventory were administered to 20 institution-reared and 20 parent-reared boys by a female interviewer. The results supported the first two predictions of the study.
本研究以一组土耳其儿童为样本，旨在检验依恋理论的两个预测：(a) 自幼与父母分离的机构抚养儿童比双亲家庭的儿童更不可能拥有安全的依恋模式；(b) 抑郁模式与不安全依恋模式呈正相关，与安全依恋模式呈负相关。从系统理论的角度出发，我们还预测，机构抚养儿童的抑郁与依恋风格之间的关系比双亲家庭的儿童更强。一位女性访谈者对20名机构抚养的男孩和20名家庭抚养的男孩进行了哈赞和夏弗（1987）的依恋风格项目及贝克抑郁量表测试。结果支持了该研究的前两个预测。
