Adult Attachment Classification and Self-Reported Psychiatric Symptomalogy as Assessed by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2.

Pianta, Robert C.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v64 n2 p273-81 Apr 1996

Examined differences in self-reported psychiatric symptomatology on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 according to the Adult Attachment Interview in first-time mothers from a high-risk poverty sample. Different symptom patterns were consistent with adult attachment status as an index of self-representation and as a set of strategies for processing emotions and thoughts related to distress and to attachment relationships.
