Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the psychological mechanism underlying the relationship between attachment style and intimate relationship satisfaction in women. For this purpose, a cross-sectional research design was employed in which 233 women (M_age = 28.16 years) who were currently in a romantic relationship completed a questionnaire that assessed attachment style, relationship satisfaction, self-esteem, and flexible goal adjustment (FGA). The results showed that both high attachment anxiety and high attachment avoidance were associated with low relationship satisfaction. Self-esteem mediated the relationship between attachment insecurity and relationship satisfaction. Moreover, the mediation effect of self-esteem was moderated by FGA, such that only in women with high FGA was self-esteem a significant mediator in the relationship between an insecure attachment style and relationship satisfaction. The results have implications for enhancing women’s relationship satisfaction.

摘要

本研究旨在探讨女性依恋风格与亲密关系满意度之间关系的心理机制。为此目的，采用了一项横断面研究设计，其中233名妇女（M_年龄= 28.16岁），他们目前处于恋爱关系中，他们完成了一份问卷，该问卷评估了依恋风格，关系满意度，自尊心和灵活的目标调整（FGA）。结果表明，高依恋焦虑和高依恋回避都与较低的关系满意度相关。自尊介导了依恋不安全感和关系满意度之间的关系。此外，自尊的调解作用受到FGA的调节，因此只有在FGA高的女性中，自尊才是不安全依恋风格和关系满意度之间关系的重要调解者。结果对提高妇女的关系满意度有影响。
