The present research assessed attachment style and gender differences in adolescents' relationships with the opposite sex, using questionnaire and diary methodologies. In Study 1, 193 unmarried undergraduate subjects completed questionnaire measures of attachment style, relationship history and attitudes to sex. Relationship history data supported previous findings: avoidant subjects reported fewer and less intense love experiences; anxious/ambivalent subjects reported frequent but less enduring love relationships; secure subjects reported more loving and satisfying relationships. As hypothesized, avoidant subjects were more accepting of casual (uncommitted) sex than other attachment groups. In Study 2, 85 subjects from the previous study used a diary format to record their interactions with members of the opposite sex, classifying each interaction according to intimacy level and partner type. Avoidant subjects engaged in fewer interactions overall, fewer chats, and interacted with a smaller number of friends. Anxious/ambivalent subjects engaged in fewer interactions with strangers than did secure subjects. Female avoidants and male anxious/ambivalents were the least likely to report engaging in sexual intercourse during the course of the study, suggesting that attachment style and gender role expectations jointly influence relationship development.
本研究采用问卷调查和日记法，评估了青少年与异性关系中的依恋风格和性别差异。在研究1中，193名未婚本科学生完成了关于依恋风格、恋爱史和性态度的问卷调查。恋爱史数据支持了先前的研究结果：回避型受试者报告的恋爱经历较少且强度较低；焦虑/矛盾型受试者报告的恋爱关系频繁但持续时间较短；安全型受试者报告的恋爱关系更亲密且更令人满意。正如所假设的那样，回避型受试者比其他依恋类型的受试者更能接受随意（无承诺）性行为。在研究2中，前一项研究中的85名受试者采用日记形式记录他们与异性的互动，并根据亲密程度和伴侣类型对每次互动进行分类。回避型受试者总体上互动较少，聊天较少，与朋友的互动也较少。焦虑/矛盾型受试者与陌生人的互动比安全型受试者少。女性回避型和男性焦虑/矛盾型在研究过程中最不可能报告发生性行为，这表明依恋风格和性别角色期望共同影响恋爱关系的发展。
