The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between two different approaches to the assessment of adult attachment. The approaches were C. Hazan and P. R. Shaver's (1987) categorization of three attachment styles and the dimensional system of the Reciprocal Attachment Questionnaire (RAQ; M. West & A. Sheldon-Keller, 1992). Participants were 196 (72 men and 124 women) respondents to a community survey. Multiple regression results showed that the three attachment groups differed significantly on three dimensions of the RAQ: feared loss of the attachment figure, perceived availability of the attachment figure, and use of the attachment figure. In addition, men and women differed significantly on use of the attachment figure, independent of their attachment style. The results indicate that the two approaches to the assessment of adult attachment are interrelated in meaningful ways.
本研究的目的是确定两种不同的成人依恋评估方法之间的关系。这两种方法分别是C. 哈赞和P. R. 谢弗（1987年）对三种依恋风格的分类，以及相互依恋问卷（RAQ；M. 韦斯特和A. 谢尔登-凯勒，1992年）的维度系统。研究参与者是196名（72名男性和124名女性）社区调查的受访者。多元回归结果显示，这三个依恋组在相互依恋问卷的三个维度上存在显著差异：害怕失去依恋对象、感知到的依恋对象的可获得性以及对依恋对象的利用。此外，无论依恋风格如何，男性和女性在对依恋对象的利用方面存在显著差异。结果表明，这两种成人依恋评估方法以有意义的方式相互关联。
