This study aims to examine two explanatory factors of relationship satisfaction and parental alliance among both parents of a new child, namely romantic attachment and perfectionism. A sample of 80 couples completed individual online questionnaires. Path analyses based on the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model were carried out to explore the actor and partner effects of each explanatory variable (attachment, perfectionism) on both partners’ postnatal relationship satisfaction and parental alliance. Results revealed that attachment avoidance is negatively related to each partner’s own relationship satisfaction and parental alliance, whereas attachment anxiety is related to their own lower parental alliance. Maladaptive perfectionism is negatively related to each partner’s own relationship satisfaction, whereas adaptive perfectionism is positively related to each partner’s own relationship satisfaction. These results extend the understanding of the factors contributing to parental and couple adaptation in the postnatal period. They highlight the role of attachment and perfectionism for improving postnatal professionals’ interventions.

夫妻对孩子出生的适应：依恋和完美主义的作用

本研究旨在研究新孩子父母双方关系满意度和父母联盟的两个解释因素，即浪漫依恋和完美主义。80 对夫妇的样本完成了个人在线问卷调查。进行了基于演员-伴侣相互依赖模型的路径分析，以探索每个解释变量（依恋、完美主义）对双方产后关系满意度和父母联盟的演员和伴侣的影响。结果表明，依恋回避与每个伙伴自己的关系满意度和父母联盟呈负相关，而依恋焦虑与他们自己较低的父母联盟相关。适应不良的完美主义与每个合作伙伴自己的关系满意度呈负相关，而适应性完美主义与每个合作伙伴自己的关系满意度呈正相关。这些结果扩展了对有助于产后父母和夫妻适应的因素的理解。他们强调了依恋和完美主义在改善产后专业人员干预方面的作用。
