“…Our attachment measure was similar to other attachment measures that assess quality of relationship with the parent and that are commonly used in research with youth, in particular the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) (Armsden & Greenberg, 1987). The validity of the IPPA has been confirmed, given its relations with theoretically meaningful outcomes (e.g., Armsden & Greenberg, 1987; Emmanuelle, 2009; Ruijten, Roelofs, & Rood, 2011; Sternberg, Lamb, Guterman, Abbott, & Dawud-Noursi, 2005). In addition, the IPPA has been related to other attachment measures (Van Ryzin & Leve, 2012), including the AAI (Maier, Bernier, Pekrun, Zimmermann, & Grossmann, 2004).…”

Disparities in Depressive Distress by Sexual Orientation in Emerging Adults: The Roles of Attachment and Stress Paradigms

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth have elevated rates of depression compared to heterosexuals. We proposed and examined a theoretical model to understand whether attachment and stress paradigms explain disparities in depressive distress by sexual orientation, using the longitudinal Growing Up Today Study (GUTS) and Nurses’ Health Study II (NHSII). GUTS participants eligible for this analysis reported sexual orientation, childhood gender nonconforming behaviors (GNBs), attachment to mother (all in 2005), and depressive symptoms (in 2007). Mothers of the GUTS participants who are the NHSII participants reported attitudes toward homosexuality (in 2004) and maternal affection (in 2006). The sample had 6,122 participants. Of GUTS youth (M = 20.6 years old in 2005; 64.4% female), 1.7% were lesbian/gay (LG), 1.7% bisexual (BI), 10.0% mostly heterosexual (MH), and 86.7% completely heterosexual (CH). After adjusting for demographic characteristics and sibling clustering, LGs, BIs, and MHs reported more depressive distress than CHs. This relation was partially mediated (i.e., explained) for LGs, BIs, and MHs relative to CHs by less secure attachment. A conditional relation (i.e., interaction) indicated that BIs reported more distress than CHs as GNBs increased for BIs; no comparable relation was found for LGs vs. CHs. Sibling comparisons found that sexual minorities (LGs, BIs, and MHs) reported more depressive distress, less secure attachment, and more childhood GNBs than CH siblings; the mothers reported less affection for their sexual-minority than CH offspring. The findings suggest that attachment and childhood gender nonconformity differentially pattern depressive distress by sexual orientation. Attachment and related experiences are more problematic for sexual minorities than for their CH siblings.

More lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youths than heterosexuals report substance use. We examined a theoretical model to understand these disparities in lifetime and past-year substance use by means of stress and attachment paradigms, using the longitudinal Growing Up Today Study (GUTS) and Nurses’ Health Study II (NHSII). GUTS participants are the children of participants in NHSII; thus, child and maternal data are available. In addition, GUTS contains siblings, allowing for comparisons of LGB and heterosexual siblings. Of 5,647 GUTS youths (M = 20.6 years old in 2005), 1.6% were lesbian/gay (LG), 1.6% bisexual (BI), 9.9% mostly heterosexual (MH), and 86.9% completely heterosexual (CH). After adjusting for sibling clustering in GUTS and covariates, significantly more sexual minorities (LGs, BIs, and MHs) than CHs reported lifetime and past-year smoking, non-marijuana illicit drug use, and prescription drug misuse. More sexual minorities also reported marijuana use in the past year. The relations between sexual orientation and substance use were moderated by the stress markers: As mother's discomfort with homosexuality increased, more BIs and MHs than CHs used substances. As childhood gender nonconforming behaviors increased, more LGs than CHs used substances. The relations between sexual orientation and substance use were mediated by attachment and maternal affection (percent of effect mediated ranged from 5.6%–16.8%% for lifetime substance use and 4.9%–24.5% for past-year use). In addition, sibling comparisons found that sexual minorities reported more substance use, more childhood gender nonconforming behaviors, and less secure attachment than CH siblings; mothers reported less affection for their sexual-minority than CH offspring. The findings indicate the importance of stress and attachment paradigms for understanding sexual-orientation disparities in substance use.

“…In addition, high levels of insecure attachment have been associated with increased distress and symptomatology in adults , and older children and adolescents (Sternberg, Lamb, Guterman, Abbott, & Dawud-Noursi, 2005). The relation between childhood abuse and insecure attachment has been found in studies using both categorical Roche, Runtz, & Hunter, 1999;Shapiro & Levendosky, 1999) and dimensional (McCarthy & Taylor, 1999;Twaite & Rodriguez-Srednicki, 2004;Whiffen, Judd, & Aube, 1999) models of attachment.…”

PTSD–Related Cognitions and Romantic Attachment Style as Moderators of Psychological Symptoms in Victims of Interpersonal Trauma

Both PTSD-related cognitions and adult romantic attachment cognitions have been linked to level of symptomatology and can be conceptualized as interpersonal cognitive schemas that may increase vulnerability to the development of psychological symptoms. The present study examined PTSD-related cognitions and adult romantic attachment as moderators of symptom development after interpersonal trauma. Victims reported higher levels of PTSD-related cognitions and attachment anxiety, but not attachment avoidance, than nonvictims. Results suggest that the experience of trauma, high levels of insecure attachment, and high levels of PTSD-related cognitions are associated with higher levels of symptomatology. In addition, PTSD-related cognitions served as a unique predictor of PTSD symptoms, and moderated the relation between attachment anxiety and depressive symptoms.
