浪漫的夫妇（N = 194）参加了一项调查，在成年后的婚姻过程。在第一阶段，夫妇成员完成问卷调查，旨在确定依恋风格的差异，在照顾行为，并探讨潜在的（个人和关系）机制，导致不同的依恋风格的人是有效的或无效的照顾者。结果表明，社会支持知识、亲社会取向、相互依赖、信任和利己动机在依恋风格与依恋行为之间起中介作用。在第二阶段，通过将夫妇中的一员暴露于紧张的实验室环境并实验性地操纵他或她对支持的需求，从行为上评估了反应性回避。结果显示，在第一阶段确定的依恋风格和中介机制也预测可观察到的支持行为在一个特定的插曲，其中合作伙伴有一个明确的需要支持。
Romantic couples (N = 194) participated in an investigation of caregiving processes in adulthood. In Phase 1, couple members completed questionnaires designed to identify attachment style differences in caregiving behavior and to explore the underlying (personal and relationship) mechanisms that lead people with different attachment styles to be effective or ineffective caregivers. Results revealed that social support knowledge, prosocial orientation, interdependence, trust, and egoistic motivation mediated the link between attachment style and caregiving. In Phase 2, responsive caregiving was assessed behaviorally by exposing one member of the couple to a stressful laboratory situation and experimentally manipulating his or her need for support. Results revealed that attachment style and mediating mechanisms identified in Phase 1 also predicted observable support behavior in a specific episode in which a partner had a clear need for support.
