Recent trend analyses have documented changes over the past decades in psychological and relational variables (e.g., social interaction, empathy, loneliness) for emerging adults. With one exception), however, little research has examined how attachment styles may have changed over time. The present study, which involved data collected from 1997 to 2019 within one university setting, examined whether young adults’ selection of the attachment style that best described them from Bartholomew and Horowitz’s) four-category attachment measure changed over time, controlling for several sociodemographic variables. Results indicated that the probability of selecting an insecure attachment style (and particularly the dismissing attachment style) increased over time, controlling for sociodemographic variables. The results are consistent with those of Konrath et al.

最近的趋势分析已记录了新兴成年人在过去几十年中的心理和关系变量（例如，社交互动，同情心，孤独感）的变化。但是，除了一个例外），很少有研究检查依恋样式如何随时间变化。本研究在一个大学环境中收集了1997年至2019年的数据，研究了年轻人对依恋方式的选择是否最能描述巴塞洛缪和霍洛维茨的四类依恋测度随时间的变化，并控制了几个社会人口统计学变量。结果表明，选择不安全的依恋方式（尤其是解散的依恋方式）的可能性随着时间的推移而增加，从而控制了社会人口统计学变量。
