Abstract Law enforcement officers (LEO) and their partners face many stressors. Secure attachments minimize stress but building secure bonds require meaningful interactions; interactions impeded by LEO’s culture of suppressing feelings. Study participants included 54 male officers and their partners. Using dyadic data, 3 APIMs were used to explore the association between attachment, communication, and satisfaction. Results suggest that secure behaviors increase constructive communication, decrease demand-withdrawal, and increase satisfaction. It appears that male behaviors have a stronger influence on the findings than female partners. Clinicians are encouraged to consider interventions that not only increase secure bonds but engage the male partner.

你在我身边吗？执法人员与其伴侣的依恋、沟通与关系满意度的关系

摘要 执法人员 (LEO) 及其合作伙伴面临许多压力源。安全的依恋可以最大限度地减少压力，但建立安全的联系需要有意义的互动；LEO 压抑情绪的文化阻碍了互动。研究参与者包括 54 名男性官员及其伴侣。使用二元数据，使用 3 个 APIM 来探索依恋、沟通和满意度之间的关联。结果表明，安全行为会增加建设性沟通，减少需求撤回，并提高满意度。与女性伴侣相比，男性行为对调查结果的影响似乎更大。鼓励临床医生考虑干预措施，不仅可以增加安全联系，还可以让男性伴侣参与进来。
