A central tenet of attachment theory is that a person's early attachment experiences with caregivers shape his or her attachment representation in adulthood. It is still debatable, however, whether one's attachment representation truly remains stable from childhood to adulthood. More importantly, research on the stability of attachment representation is lacking in Hong Kong. This study explored (a) whether preadult attachments could predict adult attachment with romantic partners and (b) the possible moderating effects of childcare environment factors in childhood and adolescence such as the number of caregivers and significant changes (i.e., cross-border relocations, caregivers' death, and caregivers' separation) on the relationship between preadult and adult attachments. A convenience sample of 124 Chinese female and 101 male childless adults, between the ages of 18 and 45, who had regular contact with their parents before the age of 10, had at least one nonparent caregiver during childhood, and at least one romantic relationship that lasted for 6 months or more in adulthood, who had lived in Hong Kong for more than 7 years and were living in Hong Kong at the time of data collection participated in the study. Participants completed the Inventory of Parent and Nonparent Caregivers' Attachment (IPNPCA), adapted from the Chinese version of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA; Armsden & Greenberg, 1987; Sun & Yeh, 2004), and the Chinese translated Experience of Close Relationship-Revised Scale (ECR-R, Fraley, Waller & Brennan, 2000) to assess preadult and adult attachments. Multiple regressions were performed and results indicated that preadult maternal and paternal attachments correlated with and predicted adult attachment. No significant moderating effect was found for number of caregivers and significant changes on the relationship. The predictive effect of maternal attachment on adult attachment was the most robust. Independent samples t-tests indicated a significantly more secure adult attachment for married participants compared to single ones. Paternal attachment appeared to be influenced by some childcare environment factors: formation of caregivers, sleeping arrangement in adolescence, and separation from caregivers in preadulthood according to results of independent samples t-test and ANOVA.
