依恋和照顾领域保持父母和后代之间的接近和照顾行为,以一种被认为是塑造人们关系如何运作的心理模型的方式,导致安全,成年后焦虑或回避的人际关系方式。一些理论家认为,依恋系统与社会和政治领域的取向和行为密切相关,这应该与不同的依恋风格一样,建立在同一套家庭经历中。我们使用挪威双胞胎的样本(N=1987)来评估依恋之间的遗传和环境关系,信任,利他主义,右翼威权主义(RWA),和社会优势取向(SDO)。结果表明,依恋和意识形态之间没有共同的环境重叠,甚至在依恋风格之间或意识形态特征之间,挑战发展中的传统智慧,社会,和政治心理学。相反,证据支持两个功能不同的系统,一个用于导航亲密关系(依恋),一个用于导航社会等级制度(RWA/SDO),每个系统内性状之间的遗传重叠,以及信任和利他主义的两种截然不同的遗传联系。这与连接依恋的理论观点相反,意识形态,通过早期的关系经验和人际取向。
The attachment and caregiving domains maintain proximity and care-giving behavior between parents and offspring, in a way that has been argued to shape people\'s mental models of how relationships work, resulting in secure, anxious or avoidant interpersonal styles in adulthood. Several theorists have suggested that the attachment system is closely connected to orientations and behaviors in social and political domains, which should be grounded in the same set of familial experiences as are the different attachment styles. We use a sample of Norwegian twins (N = 1987) to assess the genetic and environmental relationship between attachment, trust, altruism, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), and social dominance orientation (SDO). Results indicate no shared environmental overlap between attachment and ideology, nor even between the attachment styles or between the ideological traits, challenging conventional wisdom in developmental, social, and political psychology. Rather, evidence supports two functionally distinct systems, one for navigating intimate relationships (attachment) and one for navigating social hierarchies (RWA/SDO), with genetic overlap between traits within each system, and two distinct genetic linkages to trust and altruism. This is counter-posed to theoretical perspectives that link attachment, ideology, and interpersonal orientations through early relational experiences.
