Abstract：
To date, we know very little about the effects of the differences in attachment classifications on the physiological correlates of stress regulation in adolescent age groups. The present study examined for the first time heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) during an attachment interview in adolescents. HR and HRV data were collected during a baseline assessment as well as during the administration of the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP) in a community-based sample of 56 adolescents (26 females and 30 males, mean age = 16.05 years [SD = 1.10]). We additionally used the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) in 50% of our sample to test the convergent validity. Adolescents with a secure attachment representation showed a higher HRV from baseline to the AAP interview compared to those with an insecure-dismissing (Ds) and the unresolved group. A comparison between the two insecure attachment groups showed no significant difference related to HR and HRV. Cohen\'s Kappa (κ = 0.81) revealed an almost perfect agreement between the AAP and the AAI for the four-group classification. Our results indicate that adolescents with a secure attachment representation are more capable of dealing with attachment-related distress which is represented in higher HRV during an attachment interview.
摘要：
迄今为止,我们对依恋分类的差异对青少年年龄组压力调节的生理相关性的影响知之甚少。本研究首次在青少年的依恋访谈中检查了心率（HR）和心率变异性（HRV）。在基于社区的56名青少年（26名女性和30名男性，平均年龄=16.05岁[SD=1.10])。我们还在50％的样本中使用了成人依恋访谈（AAI）来测试收敛有效性。与不安全解雇（Ds）和未解决组的青少年相比，具有安全依恋表现的青少年从基线到AAP访谈的HRV更高。两个不安全依恋组之间的比较显示与HR和HRV相关的差异不显著。Cohen的Kappa（κ=0.81）揭示了四组分类的AAP和AAI之间几乎完美的一致性。我们的结果表明，具有安全依恋代表性的青少年更有能力处理与依恋相关的困扰，在依恋访谈期间，这种困扰在较高的HRV中表现出来。
