Abstract

This study investigated the effects of adult attachment styles on emotional experiences in marital relationships and evaluations of the relationships in 156 middle-age couples. The main results are as follows. The anxiety-attachment dimension was positively correlated with the self's and partner's negative emotion in the marital relationship, and negatively related to the self's and partner's evaluation of the relationship. The avoidance dimension was only related to the self's negative emotion and evaluation of the relationship. In addition, the relation between the anxiety dimension and the self's and partner's evaluation of the relationship were mediated by the self's and partner's negative emotions respectively. With regard to the avoidance dimension, only the relationship between the avoidance dimension and the self's evaluation of the relationship was mediated by the self's negative emotion. The results are discussed in terms of similarities and differences between mother-child and romantic dyads in early adulthood.
