Book Synopsis The Relationship of Adult Attachment Style and Interactive Conflict Styles to Marital Satisfaction by : Anne Katherine Crowley
Download or read book The Relationship of Adult Attachment Style and Interactive Conflict Styles to Marital Satisfaction written by Anne Katherine Crowley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the association between individual attachment and interactive conflict styles and the overall influence on marital satisfaction in 207 married individuals. The application of attachment theory to this study of adult romantic relationships was established via factor analysis and yielded two dimensions: self (anxiety) and other (avoidance). Accommodation and demand-withdraw were the two forms of conflict interaction studied, which, respectively, are constructive and destructive styles of engagement that impact marital satisfaction. Individuals completed self-report measures of attachment, accommodation, demand-withdraw and global marital satisfaction. The current study yielded statistically significant results and supported all of the research hypotheses. There were negative relationships found between the attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance and total accommodation, while positive relationships were determined between both attachment dimensions and demand-withdraw behaviors. In relationship to marital satisfaction, an individual's total accommodation was positively related, while demand-withdraw behaviors were inversely associated. There were also inverse relationships found between both the attachment dimensions and marital satisfaction. These findings suggest that the data are consistent with previous research on attachment, accommodation, demand-withdraw behavior and marital satisfaction. In addition to supporting prior findings, this study also had several unique contributions. A statistically significant relationship was found between the constructive and destructive conflict styles, which suggested total accommodation was associated with lower levels of demand-withdraw. In addition, a path model for the variables of attachment, accommodation, demand-withdraw and marital satisfaction was developed. This display of variables is especially useful in showing the bidirectionality of constructive and destructive behaviors in marriage. Research implications for these findings are presented and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Book Synopsis Knowledge Structures in Close Relationships by : Garth J.O. Fletcher
Download or read book Knowledge Structures in Close Relationships written by Garth J.O. Fletcher and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-three of the top scholars in this fast moving domain present a picture of work at the cusp in social psychology -- work that deals with cognition and affect in close relationships. The present volume contains a wealth of research findings and influential theoretical accounts that spring as much from indigenous work in the close relationship field as from purebred social cognition. The chapters introduce theories and research programs concerned with the role of individual and couple differences in close relationship knowledge structures. They deal with the role of emotion and affect in close relationships. And they discuss the function of cognition and knowledge structures in relation to the developmental course of close relationships. Each section is accompanied by a critical review written by an expert in the field. This volume is a must for any close relationship scholar interested in the latest research and theorizing about close relationships that adopt a social psychological perspective. It will also be of interest to scholars and students working in clinical psychology, social cognition, communication, individual differences, and family studies.
Book Synopsis The Association Between Positive and Negative Relationship Quality and Attachment Style by : Diana Amparo Menchaca

This book was released on 2004 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examines the association between positive and negative marital quality and attachment style using a two-dimensional measure of marital quality. Research has supported that attachment style is pervasive from childhood to adulthood and that it has correlates with romantic relationships, including relationship quality. Thus far, links between marital quality and correlates of marital quality have often utilized only single-dimension quality measures that assume marital happiness and discord lie at opposite ends of a single continuum. Fincham and Linfield suggested that it may be better to conceptualize marital quality as a marital attitude that is best measured with a two-dimensional approach. They demonstrated that positive and negative evaluations of marriage can be measured separately, and those evaluations account for unique variance in attributions and behavior that is not captured by conventional, single-dimension measures of marital quality. Measures of marital quality and attachment style were completed by 264 spouses. The factor structure of the two-dimensional measure of marital quality, the Positive and Negative Quality in Marriage Scale (PANQIMS), was replicated and supports the existence of positive and negative martial-quality dimensions. A median split on the two dimensions of positive and negative marital quality from the PANQIMS was conducted to create four groups (satisfied, ambivalent, indifferent, and dissatisfied). Analyses examined single-dimension measures of marital quality, including the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale, as compared to the PANQIMS groups and found that midrange scores on the single-dimension measures were differentiated into indifferent and ambivalent scores on the two-dimensional measure. The association between positive and negative marital quality and dimensions of two attachment measures--the Adult Attachment Questionnaire and the Parental Bonding Instrument--was found to be significant in overall regression models. No single marital quality variable in the regression was found to be significant, however. Implications of the findings and recommendations for related studies in future research are provided.

Book Synopsis Adult Attachment by : Judith A. Feeney
Download or read book Adult Attachment written by Judith A. Feeney and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1996-06-24 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attachment theory is one of the most popular theoretical perspectives currently influencing research in close relationships. Extremely interesting and well written, Adult Attachment draws together the diverse strands of attachment research as it exists today into a coherent account. Authors Judith Feeney and Patricia Noller give particular emphasis to dating and marital relationships and how an individual′s early social experiences affect intimacy later in life. Given that the quality of intimate relationships is a key determinant of subjective well-being, concepts explored by the authors are clearly of both theoretical and practical importance. This volume presents theory and empirical work on attachment as well as on issues of conceptualization and measurement, on the relationship between attachment and working models, and on the links between attachment and other central life tasks such as work and faith. The encompassing and readable Adult Attachment is an excellent supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, sociology, communication, family studies, and social work and for professors, practitioners, and researchers in these and related fields.

Book Synopsis A Content Analysis of Evidence-based Romantic Adult Attachment Articles by : Melissa A. Hunter
Download or read book A Content Analysis of Evidence-based Romantic Adult Attachment Articles written by Melissa A. Hunter and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to examine romantic adult attachment theory and how marital satisfaction is impacted by spirituality/religiosity, while also exploring how spirituality influences conflict and communication in marriages. A content analysis was used to further investigate these variables by comparing ten articles from scholarly peer-reviewed journals. The researcher created a Coding Form and taught two coders to code the data by using a Coding Guide. This dissertation was guided by the research questions: “How have research-based articles published in scholarly journals addressed how romantic adult attachment, marital satisfaction, communication, and /or conflict are impacted when spirituality/ religiosity is added as a variable to these studies?” And “What are the gaps and limitations in the research based on romantic adult attachment, marital satisfaction, communication and/or conflict plus spirituality/religiosity when articles from 1992-2017 are considered?” Currently, there is no review of how spirituality/religiosity and romantic adult attachment interact with marital satisfaction, conflict, and communication in a therapeutic environment. Having the knowledge of this interaction will help therapists better use spirituality/religiosity as a factor in their therapeutic process. When the researcher examined the variables in the ten articles, it became apparent that conflict and communication were insufficiently supported by the journal articles. The prominent variables in this content analysis then became spirituality/religiosity and marital satisfaction. It was found that anxiety attachment is not related to some religious coping such as praying or attending faith services. Those with avoidant attachment demonstrated both higher and/or lower religious coping. Another finding was how attachment to God mirrors romantic adult attachment. Marital satisfaction correlated with commitment level and couple’s attitude. Some factors identified as risks or resilience were community, attitude towards divorce, willingness to seek help, commitment, church attendance, prayer, and forgiveness. Future research is needed on how gender impacts both spirituality and attachment. Several of the articles determined that gender impacted attachment, but had inconclusive findings due to limited attention and/or research. Another area where more research is needed is with intercultural/cultural relationships. Family of origin and the impact it has on an adult’s spirituality/religiosity is also needed to be studied more in depth.
Book Synopsis Factors that Influence the Association Between Adult Attachment and Marital Satisfaction by : Daniel LeRoy Hatch
Download or read book Factors that Influence the Association Between Adult Attachment and Marital Satisfaction written by Daniel LeRoy Hatch and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult attachment theory offers a promising conceptual framework for understanding the psychological and contextual factors that contribute to marital satisfaction. A consistent association has been found between adult attachment dimensions and marital satisfaction. The current study examined several mediating mechanisms that may explain the relationship between adult attachment dimensions and marital satisfaction. Specifically, relationship expectations, four types of responses to accommodative dilemmas (exit, neglect, voice, and loyalty), and three forms of empathy (empathic concern, perspective taking, empathic personal distress) were hypothesized to mediate the relationship between adult attachment and marital satisfaction. Self-report data were collected from both partners of 193 heterosexual, married couples. The attachment dimension of avoidance for husbands and wives was consistently associated with each couple member's respective marital satisfaction. Attachment anxiety was never directly associated with either husbands' or wives' marital satisfaction. Wives' marital satisfaction was explained by their own relationship expectations and exit responses. Additionally, wives' marital satisfaction was explained by their husband's relationship expectations, exit responses, empathic perspective taking, and loyalty responses. Husbands' marital satisfaction was explained by their own relationship expectations, exit responses, neglect responses, voice responses, loyalty responses, and empathic perspective taking. Results are discussed in light of current theories of adult attachment and marital satisfaction.

Book Synopsis Changes in Marital Satisfaction Across the Transition to Parenthood by : Jamie Rentfro
Download or read book Changes in Marital Satisfaction Across the Transition to Parenthood written by Jamie Rentfro and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For parents, the birth of their first child sparks rapid change for each partner and for their romantic relationship. With the stress of the transition to parenthood, many couples experience declining marital satisfaction. However, previous studies have reported wide variation in the magnitude and time course of this decline. The present study sought to determine the trajectory of marital satisfaction across the first 2 years of parenthood. The study also examined the role of anxious and avoidant attachment, as well as relationship dynamics that prevent or augment declines in satisfaction for anxious and avoidant individuals. Data were collected from couples in five assessment waves: 6 weeks before the birth of the first child, and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postbirth. Both partners completed self-report measures of attachment orientations and relevant situational stressors. It was hypothesized that, for insecurely attached partners, declines in marital satisfaction would be associated with the inability to pursue attachment-related goals. Thus, satisfaction should decline when: 1) anxious individuals are unable to increase proximity to their partners; and 2) avoidant individuals are unable to increase distance from their partners. Growth curve models examined changes in satisfaction over time, moderated by gender, attachment orientation (anxiety or avoidance), and situational stressors. Results yielded three key findings, which largely supported the hypotheses. First, for highly anxious individuals, satisfaction was lower or declined when they perceived their partners as less supportive and more negative toward them, and when they felt their babies interfered more in their romantic relationship. Second, for highly avoidant individuals, satisfaction was lower or declined when they felt their babies interfered more in leisure activities, and when they perceived more work-family conflict and more demands from their families. Third, an interesting pattern of gender differences emerged, such that satisfaction often declined more steeply in insecure men than women. Exploratory analyses revealed additional moderators of the attachment-satisfaction relationship. These are discussed as they relate to the goals of insecurely attached individuals. Findings suggest that attachment insecurities predict dissatisfaction in new parents primarily when situational stressors block the pursuit of secondary attachment goals.
