Abstract

Objective: Previous meta-analyses have shown that client-rated working alliance is negatively correlated with attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. The purpose of this study is to provide an updated meta-analysis of the relation between alliance and the two dimensions of attachment insecurity. Method: Random effects models were used to examine the relation between the working alliance and attachment anxiety and the relation between the working alliance and attachment avoidance. Results: The overall relation between alliance and attachment anxiety was r = -.09 (p = .01, k = 33, I² = 43.7%). The overall relation between alliance and attachment avoidance was r = -.13 (p < .001, k = 33, I² = 44.7%). There was no evidence that these relations varied across study characteristics such as client race or the number of therapists in the study. Conclusion: The results support the negative relations between client-rated alliance and both dimensions of client-rated attachment insecurity. Further research is needed to identify the factors that moderate this relationship, using a more diverse sample of study characteristics and a wider range of measures.

成人依恋风格与工作联盟关系的最新荟萃分析。

研究目的以往的荟萃分析表明，客户评价的工作联盟与依恋焦虑和依恋回避呈负相关。本研究旨在对联盟与依恋不安全感的两个维度之间的关系进行最新的荟萃分析。研究方法采用随机效应模型研究工作联盟与依恋焦虑之间的关系，以及工作联盟与依恋回避之间的关系。结果联盟与依恋焦虑之间的总体关系为 r = -.09 (p = .01, k = 33, I2 = 43.7%)。联盟与依恋回避之间的总体关系为 r = -.13 (p .001, k = 33, I2 = 44.7%)。没有证据表明这些关系因研究特征（如客户种族或研究中治疗师的数量）而异。结论研究结果支持客户评价的联盟与客户评价的依恋不安全感两个维度之间的负相关关系。还需要进一步的研究，利用更多样化的研究特征样本和更广泛的测量方法来确定调节这种关系的因素。
