Abstract

ObjectiveAttachment research has traditionally focused on traits, enhancing our understanding of attachment‐related individual differences. However, to chart the dynamic properties of the attachment system, more research is needed on the within‐person fluctuation of attachment states. In this ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study, we examined (a) the associations between the baseline, variability, and inertia of each state attachment dimension (security, avoidance, and anxiety) and (b) how trait attachment (anxiety and avoidance) predicts these dynamic features.MethodIn two adult samples (Ns = 122 and 127), trait attachment dimensions were first assessed using Experiences in Close Relationships–Revised. Then, attachment states were assessed seven or ten times a day over 1 week (4629 and 5322 successful EMA observations).ResultsFor state security, individuals with high baseline exhibited lower variability. In contrast, for state avoidance, those with high baseline showed higher variability. Both trait attachment anxiety and avoidance predicted lower baseline and higher variability of state security. Moreover, both trait dimensions predicted higher baselines of the corresponding states.ConclusionsOur findings provide insights into the real‐time regulatory dynamics of the attachment system and their interconnection with trait attachment, underscoring the importance of baseline and variability in understanding how attachment manifests in everyday life.

日常状态依恋:特质依恋的动态特征和作用
目标依恋研究历来侧重于特质,从而加深我们对与依恋相关的个体差异的理解。然而,为了描绘依恋系统的动态特性,我们需要对依恋状态的人际波动进行更多的研究。在这项生态瞬间评估(EMA)研究中,我们考察了(a)每个依恋状态维度(安全感、回避和焦虑)的基线、变异性和惯性之间的关联,以及(b)特质依恋(焦虑和回避)如何预测这些动态特征。然后,对依恋状态进行为期一周、每天七次或十次的评估(4629 次和 5322 次成功的 EMA 观察)。相反,对于回避状态,基线高的人表现出更高的可变性。特质依恋焦虑和回避都能预测较低的状态安全感基线和较高的变异性。我们的研究结果为依恋系统的实时调节动态及其与特质依恋的相互联系提供了见解,强调了基线和变异性在理解依恋如何在日常生活中表现出来方面的重要性。
