Being securely attached and willing to forgive your partner tends to promote greater relationship success. Though attachment and partner forgiveness are associated cross-sectionally, research has yet to investigate whether and how these positive relationship factors tend to codevelop over time. The current study examined cross-lagged effects and correlated changes in partner forgivingness and attachment across a 2-year period with two measurement occasions (n = 514 individuals). Additionally, dyadic analyses were conducted with a subsample of dyads in the study (n = 149 dyads). Individual level analyses evidenced negative cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between attachment-anxiety and forgivingness. Attachment-avoidance and forgivingness showed significant correlated changes over time. Dyadic level analyses showed that attachment-avoidance predicted partner forgivingness 2 years later but not vice versa. Findings suggest that longitudinal associations between attachment and forgivingness may take different forms at the individual and dyadic level.

安全依恋并愿意原谅你的伴侣往往会促进更大的关系成功。尽管依恋和伴侣宽恕在横向上是相关联的，但研究尚未调查这些积极的关系因素是否以及如何随着时间的推移而共同发展。当前的研究通过两次测量场合（n = 514 个人）检查了 2 年期间伴侣宽恕和依恋的交叉滞后效应和相关变化。此外，在研究中对二元组的子样本进行二元分析（n= 149 个二元组）。个体层面的分析证明依恋焦虑和宽恕之间存在负的横断面和纵向关联。随着时间的推移，依恋回避和宽恕表现出显着的相关变化。二元水平分析表明，依恋回避预测了 2 年后伴侣的宽恕，但反之则不然。研究结果表明，依恋和宽恕之间的纵向关联在个人和二元层面可能采取不同的形式。
