Abstract：
Attachment theorists claim that the quality of parental support is internalized as a mental representation of early relationship experiences. Increasingly, the content of attachment representations is evaluated by studying the extent to which adults demonstrate knowledge of the secure base script, either in the context of the Attachment Script Assessment (ASA) or during the Adult Attachment Interview (AAIsbs). Preliminary evidence from a high-risk sample showed that AAIsbs was more strongly associated with the quality of antecedent caregiving than was the more traditional approach to the measurement of adult attachment focused on the coherence of adults\' AAI discourse (Waters, et al., 2017). Drawing on new coding of data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD), we found that AAIsbs around age 18 years was significantly predicted by observations of maternal (r = .21) and paternal (r = .12) sensitivity assessed prospectively through age 15 years, and with attachment security in the first three years of life (r =.08). AAIsbs was also associated with existing measures of adult attachment (rs = .31-.42). Pre-registered analyses revealed that AAIsbs performed in a manner roughly comparable to traditional, though more labor intensive approaches to coding the AAI. Based on all available evidence from the SECCYD and the pragmatic challenges and advantages of different narrative methods for assessing adult attachment representations (Booth-LaForce & Roisman, 2014; Steele et al., 2014), researchers seeking to measure attachment representations should strongly consider the strengths of the ASA in term of practicality, performance, and adaptability to various age groups across development (Waters & Waters, 2021).
摘要：
依恋理论家声称，父母支持的质量被内化为早期关系经历的心理表征。越来越多,附件表示的内容是通过研究成年人展示安全基本脚本知识的程度来评估的，在附件脚本评估（ASA）或成人附件访谈（AAIsbs）中。来自高风险样本的初步证据表明，与传统的成人依恋测量方法相比，AAIsbs与先前护理质量的相关性更强，该方法侧重于成人AAI话语的连贯性（Waters，etal.,2017)。利用NICHD早期儿童保育和青年发展研究（SECCYD）的新数据编码，我们发现，18岁左右的AAIsbs可以通过对15岁左右的母亲（r=.21）和父亲（r=.12）敏感性的观察显着预测，并在生命的前三年有依恋保障(r=.08)。AAIsbs也与现有的成人依恋指标相关(rs=.31-.42)。预注册分析显示，AAIsbs的表现与传统的大致相当，尽管采用更多的劳动密集型方法来编码AAI。基于SECCYD的所有可用证据以及评估成人依恋表征的不同叙事方法的务实挑战和优势（Booth-LaForce＆Roisman，2014年；斯蒂尔等人。,2014),寻求测量依恋表征的研究人员应该强烈考虑ASA在实用性方面的优势，性能，以及对不同年龄段发展的适应性(Waters&Waters，2021)。
