In a sample of 229 individuals who recently undertook a large-scale sacrifice by relocating for their romantic partner's job or schooling (i.e., accompanying partners), we tested preregistered predictions linking accompanying partners' attachment insecurities (i.e., attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance) and relationship functioning (i.e., relationship quality, relationship conflict, and move-related relationship benefits). We also examined whether any negative associations found among accompanying partners' attachment insecurities and relationship functioning could be buffered by partner prosociality in the form of perceived partner gratitude (i.e., partners' expressions of move-related and general gratitude) and perceived partner sacrifice (i.e., partners' daily sacrifice behaviors and general willingness to sacrifice). Results showed that more insecurely attached accompanying partners reported worse relationship functioning after moving than their secure counterparts. Although gratitude and sacrifice did not buffer insecurely attached individuals' relationship conflict, both perceived partner general gratitude and willingness to sacrifice partially buffered avoidantly attached individuals from experiencing lower relationship quality, while move-related gratitude helped avoidantly attached individuals to feel that the move benefitted their relationship. Meanwhile, perceived partner sacrifice behaviors buffered anxiously attached individuals from experiencing lower relationship quality. This is the first study to demonstrate, in an ecologically valid sample, the implications of a large-scale sacrifice for insecurely attached accompanying partners' relationship functioning, as well as the protective effects of perceiving a partner's prosociality following the major life transition of job relocation.

大规模牺牲后的关系运作：感知伴侣亲社会性缓冲依恋不安全感。

在 229 个人的样本中，他们最近通过搬迁为其浪漫伴侣的工作或教育（即伴侣）进行了大规模牺牲，我们测试了与伴侣的依恋不安全感（即依恋焦虑和依恋回避）和关系功能（即关系质量、关系冲突和与移动相关的关系收益）。我们还检查了在陪伴伴侣的依恋不安全感和关系功能之间发现的任何负面关联是否可以通过伴侣亲社会性以感知伴侣感激（即伴侣表达与移动相关和一般感激）和感知伴侣牺牲（即，合作伙伴的日常牺牲行为和一般的牺牲意愿）。结果表明，与安全伴侣相比，更不安全依恋的伴侣在搬家后报告的关系功能更差。虽然感恩和牺牲并没有缓冲不安全依恋个体的关系冲突，但感知到的伴侣普遍感激和牺牲意愿都部分缓冲了回避依恋的个体经历较低的关系质量，而与举动相关的感激有助于回避依恋的个体觉得此举有利于他们关系。同时，感知到的伴侣牺牲行为缓冲了焦虑依恋的个体，使其免于经历较低的关系质量。这是第一项在生态有效样本中证明大规模牺牲对不安全依恋伴侣的影响的研究 关系功能，以及在工作搬迁的重大生活转变后感知伴侣的亲社会性的保护作用。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
