This study focused on the associations between parental divorce and interparental conflict with young adults’ current attachment-related anxiety and avoidance, and romantic relationship expectations. The moderating effect of attachment history was also investigated. Using a sample of 1,078 Spanish young adults (544 women, 518 men; average age 21.4 years), our results confirmed that parental divorce is not associated with young adult children’s higher attachment anxiety and avoidance nor poorer romantic relationship expectations. Moreover, interparental conflict is more strongly associated with attachment-related avoidance (p < .001) and romantic relationship expectations (p < .05) than parental divorce, yet depending on attachment history. In fact, in support of our hypothesis, a more secure attachment history with mother has a buffering effect on the association between high-unresolved interparental conflict and attachment avoidance (β = .17, p < .001). Findings add to the existing literature and promote a better understanding of the complex associations between parental divorce and conflict on adult children´s current attachment and relationship expectations.

父母离婚和父母间冲突：西班牙年轻人的依恋和关系期望

这项研究的重点是父母离婚和父母间冲突与年轻人目前与依恋相关的焦虑和回避以及浪漫关系期望之间的关系。还研究了依恋历史的调节作用。使用 1,078 名西班牙年轻人（544 名女性，518 名男性；平均年龄 21.4 岁）的样本，我们的结果证实，父母离婚与年轻成年子女较高的依恋焦虑和回避以及较差的浪漫关系预期无关。此外，父母之间的冲突与依恋相关的回避更密切相关（p< .001) 和浪漫关系期望 (p< .05) 比父母离婚，但取决于依恋历史。事实上，为了支持我们的假设，与母亲的更安全的依恋历史对高度未解决的父母间冲突和依恋回避之间的关联具有缓冲作用（β = .17，p< .001)。研究结果增加了现有文献，并促进了对父母离婚与冲突对成年子女当前依恋和关系期望之间的复杂关联的更好理解。
