摘要：In this study,children`s representation of attachment was assessed by the Attachment Story Completion Task(Bretherton,Ridgeway,& Cassidy,1990) administered to 101 5-to 6-year-old children(56boys,45girls). Teacher-child relationship and social competence were evaluated by a questionnaire administered to preschool teachers. Based on the children`s representation of attachment in their narrative responses to the story stems,56.4% of the children were classified as having secure,22.8% as insecure-avoidant,and 20.8% as insecure-disorganized attachments. Children with secure representation of attachment exhibited more social competence and fewer behavioral problems in the child-care setting than children with insecure representation of attachment. This study showed that the child`s internal model of attachment formed from experience with caregiver is capable of transmitting social relationships outside the home..
