这项研究以 51 对夫妇为样本,考察了依恋安全感和承诺作为关系稳定性的预测因素。依恋和承诺是在大学毕业前的秋季和春季学期进行测量的,关系稳定性是通过在大学毕业后大约一年联系夫妻来确定的。依恋安全性是作为一种关系结构来衡量的(评估约会对象的可用性和响应能力)。依恋安全感随着约会关系时间的延长而增加,并预测毕业后关系的稳定性。然后我们考虑了性格和原生家庭因素如何促进约会关系中的积极轨迹(即依恋安全感、承诺和关系稳定性的增长)。男性对父母的安全感以及父母之间的开放沟通有助于秋季和春季学期之间依恋安全感和承诺的增长。依恋风格(评估为人格的衡量标准)也预测了关系的稳定性,男性和女性的安全感都会增加毕业一年后关系的稳定性。讨论了将依恋理解为成人恋爱关系中的人格和关系构建的含义。(C) 2001 青少年服务专业人员协会。
This study examined attachment security and commitment as predictors of relationship stability in a sample of 51 couples. Attachment and commitment were measured during the Fall and Spring semesters prior to graduation from college and relationship stability was determined by contacting couples approximately one year following graduation from college. Attachment security was measured as a relationship construct (appraisal of the dating partner's availability and responsiveness). Attachment security increased with the length of time in the dating relationship and predicted relationship stability following graduation. We then considered how personality and family of origin factors contributed to positive trajectories within the dating relationship (i.e. the growth of attachment security, commitment and relationship stability). Males' security with their mothers and fathers and reports of open communication between their parents contributed to growth in attachment security and commitment between the Fall and Spring semesters. Attachment styles (assessed as a measure of personality) also predicted relationship stability with both males' and females' security increasing the relationship stability one year after graduation. Implications for understanding attachment as both a personality and relationship construct in adult romantic relationships are discussed.(C) 2001 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
