Abstract

Abstract The primary goal of this study was to examine attachment style effects on self-disclosure, trust, satisfaction, and uncertainty levels of individuals in long-distance romantic relationships (LDRRs) who utilise technologically mediated communication channels as a primary means of daily interaction with their romantic partners. Participants (N = 211) from 27 countries who maintained committed romantic relationships (M = 3 years) with geographical separation (M = 1042 miles, Mdn = 160 miles) were surveyed. Using structural equation modelling (SEM), 7 of the 8 hypotheses were supported, showing that attachment style and self-disclosure predict relational uncertainty, trust, and relational satisfaction. In examining the distinctions between attachment styles (i.e., secure, preoccupied, fearful-avoidant, and dismissive) three models were developed and confirmed with good fit. The implications of the study suggest how both attachment style and self-disclosure influence the overall success of LDRRs.

依恋与分离：远距离浪漫关系中的依恋风格与自我表露

摘要本研究的主要目的是研究依恋风格对远距离浪漫关系（LDRR）中的个体的自我披露、信任、满意度和不确定性水平的影响，这些个体利用技术中介的沟通渠道作为与浪漫伴侣日常互动的主要手段。来自27个国家的参与者（N=211）接受了调查，他们保持着忠诚的浪漫关系（M=3年），地理距离（M=1042英里，Mdn=160英里）。使用结构方程模型（SEM），8个假设中有7个得到了支持，表明依恋风格和自我揭露可以预测关系的不确定性、信任和关系满意度。在研究依恋风格（即安全型、专注型、恐惧型回避型和轻蔑型）之间的区别时，开发了三个模型，并证实了这三个模型非常适合。该研究的启示表明，依恋风格和自我揭露如何影响LDRR的整体成功。
