目标。本研究的目的是考虑父母的依恋安全是否会促进更成功的早期亲子关系调整，评估婚姻质量在放大或减弱这种影响中的作用，并检验父母的依恋状态对亲子关系的互动影响。85对即将成为新父母的夫妇在妊娠晚期完成了Main和Goldwyn的成人依恋访谈（AAI）和多方法婚姻评估，并在产后3个月参加了父母冲突和凝聚力的综合评估。母亲的不安全依恋状态预示着父母之间更高的冲突水平，父亲的安全依恋状态也是如此。父亲缺乏安全感的家庭整体上表现出较低的亲子凝聚力。母亲依恋状态调节了父亲依恋状态与内聚的关系，不安全的父亲/安全的母亲表现出最低的内聚水平，而安全的母亲表现出最高的内聚水平。产前婚姻质量预测3个月的亲子关系凝聚力，而不是冲突。产前婚姻质量与父母依恋状态在亲子关系的预测中不存在交互作用，但在控制婚姻质量后，父母依恋状态与亲子关系的关系保持不变。产前评估的母亲和父亲的依恋状态可以预测在家庭生命周期的早期共同养育的维度。依恋状态对父母性别的影响在许多重要方面是不同的，在某些情况下，安全感加剧而不是缓冲了伴侣不安全感对共同父母功能的负面影响。如果不考虑环境因素，父母依恋安全对亲子关系的影响是无法正确评估的。
Objective. The purpose of this study to consider whether attachment security in mothers and fathers promotes more successful early coparenting adjustment, to assess the role of marital quality in amplifying or diminishing any such effects, and to examine interactive effects of maternal and paternal attachment status on coparenting.Design. Eighty-five couples transitioning to new parenthood completed Main and Goldwyn's Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and a multimethod marital evaluation during the pregnancy's third trimester and participated in comprehensive assessments of coparenting conflict and cohesion at 3 months postpartum.Results. Maternal Insecure attachment status predicted higher levels of coparental conflict, as did father Secure status. Families with Insecure fathers exhibited lower coparental cohesion on the whole. Maternal attachment status moderated the relation between paternal attachment status and cohesion, with Insecure father/Secure mother dyads exhibiting the lowest levels of cohesion, and Secure/Secure dyads showing the highest levels. Prenatal marital quality predicted 3-month coparenting cohesion, but not conflict. Prenatal marital quality did not interact with parental attachment status in the prediction of coparenting, but relations between parents' attachment status and coparenting maintained after controlling for marital quality.Conclusion. Prenatally assessed attachment status in both mothers and fathers predicts dimensions of coparenting early in the family life cycle. The impact of attachment status differs in important ways as a function of parent gender, and security in some cases exacerbated rather than buffered the negative impact of partner insecurity on coparental functioning. Effects of parental attachment security on coparenting cannot be properly estimated without reference to contextual factors.
