这项研究测试了依恋和照顾是成人爱情关系中相互关联的核心组成部分这一命题。229对已婚夫妇的样本被用来评估依恋和照顾方式之间的联系，以及这些变量对婚姻满意度的影响。有证据表明，伴侣在依恋维度(亲密带来的舒适感)方面是匹配的。对关系的焦虑)和照顾(反应性护理、强制性护理)。安全依恋(对亲密关系的高舒适性，对关系的低焦虑)与对配偶的有益照顾(高响应性关怀，低强制性关怀)相关。然而，这些关联的规模并不大。这表明依恋和照顾是两个不同的概念：此外，这些概念以不同的方式与早期育儿的回顾报告相关联。婚姻满意度更高的是安全依恋的配偶，以及那些报告其伴侣提供更多有益照顾的人。然而，对于丈夫来说，照顾和满足感之间的联系仅限于短期婚姻，以及那些对关系高度焦虑的人。总体而言，研究结果支持依恋和照顾在婚姻中的作用，但也表明性别等变量具有重要的调节作用。
This research tested the proposition that attachment and caregiving are central, interrelated components of adult love relationships. A sample of 229 married couples was used to assess the association between attachment and caregiving styles and the implications of these variables for marital satisfaction. There was evidence of partner matching in terms of dimensions of attachment (Comfort with closeness. Anxiety over relationships) and caregiving (Responsive care, Compulsive care). Secure attachment (high Comfort with closeness, low Anxiety over relationships) was associated with beneficial caregiving to the spouse (high Responsive care, low Compulsive care). These associations were modest in size, however. suggesting that attachment and caregiving are separate constructs: further, these constructs were related in different ways to retrospective reports of early parenting. Marital satisfaction was higher for securely attached spouses, and for those whose partners reported more beneficial caregiving. For husbands, however, the link between caregiving and satisfaction was restricted to short-term marriages, and to those high in Anxiety over relationships. Overall, the results support the role of attachment and caregiving in marriage, but suggest that variables such as gender have important moderating effects.
