Abstract

This study explored the connections among relational dialectics, the relational stage model, and attachment by assessing how individuals with differing attachment tendencies navigate conflicting desires at various stages of romantic relationships. Findings from a cross-sectional survey (N = 188) revealed that dialectical tensions were less intense for individuals in more advanced stages of relationship development compared to those in the earlier stages. Further, attachment anxiety and avoidance demonstrated positive associations with feelings of the dialectical tensions. Although interaction effects with relationship stage and attachment were not observed, significant main effects provide important implications for interpersonal scholarship.

驾驭关系升级：探索辩证张力、关系阶段和依恋之间的联系

本研究通过评估不同依恋倾向的个体在恋爱关系的不同阶段如何处理相互冲突的欲望，探讨了关系辩证法、关系阶段模型和依恋之间的联系。一项横断面调查(N = 188)的结果显示，与处于关系发展早期阶段的个体相比，处于关系发展较晚期阶段的个体的辩证紧张程度较低。此外，依恋焦虑和回避表现出与辩证紧张感的正相关。虽然没有观察到关系阶段和依恋的交互效应，但显著的主效应为人际关系研究提供了重要的启示。
