Abstract

This study examined the association between attachment styles (avoidance and anxiety) and marital satisfaction in 202 couples from Northeast India. Dyadic Response Surface Analysis (DRSA) tested for nonlinear effects of similarity in attachment on marital satisfaction. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) examined linear actor and partner effects. Results revealed a positive association between moderate avoidance similarity and husbands’ marital satisfaction, with no significant effect for similarity in anxiety. Interestingly, husbands’ anxious attachment positively predicted wives’ marital satisfaction, challenging traditional attachment theory. These findings highlight the importance of considering cultural context and gender differences when examining attachment and marital satisfaction. The clinical implications for married couples are discussed.

婚姻和谐的表面:利用二元响应面分析法洞察依恋相似性
本研究调查了印度东北部 202 对夫妇的依恋风格(回避和焦虑)与婚姻满意度之间的关系。夫妻反应面分析法(Dyadic Response Surface Analysis,DRSA)检验了依恋相似性对婚姻满意度的非线性影响。行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型(APIM)检验了行为者和伴侣的线性效应。结果显示,中度回避相似性与丈夫的婚姻满意度之间存在正相关,而焦虑相似性则无显著影响。有趣的是,丈夫的焦虑依恋对妻子的婚姻满意度有积极的预测作用,这对传统的依恋理论提出了挑战。这些发现强调了在研究依恋和婚姻满意度时考虑文化背景和性别差异的重要性。本文还讨论了对已婚夫妇的临床影响。
