The purpose of this study was to explore adult attachment as a means of understanding the intergenerational transmission of divorce, that is, the propensity for the children of divorce to end their own marriages. Participants included 157 couples assessed 3 months prior to their weddings and 6 years later. Participants completed the Adult Attachment Interview and questionnaires about their relationships, and were videotaped with their partners in a couple interaction task. Results indicated that, in this sample, adult children of divorce were not more likely to divorce within the first 6 years of marriage. However, parental divorce increased the likelihood of having an insecure adult attachment status. For women, age at the time of their parents' divorce was related to adult attachment status, and the influence on attachment representations may be more enduring. Among adult children of divorce, those who were classified as secure in their attachment representations were less likely to divorce in the early years of marriage than insecure participants.
本研究的目的是探讨成人依恋作为理解离婚代际传递的一种方式，即离婚者的子女结束自己婚姻的倾向。研究对象包括157对夫妇，在他们婚礼前3个月和6年后进行评估。参与者完成了成人依恋访谈和关于他们关系的问卷，并在一项夫妻互动任务中与他们的伴侣一起被录像。结果表明，在这个样本中，父母离异的成年子女在婚后头6年内离婚的可能性并不更高。然而，父母离婚增加了拥有不安全成人依恋状态的可能性。对于女性来说，父母离婚时的年龄与成人依恋状态有关，并且对依恋表征的影响可能更持久。在父母离异的成年子女中，那些在依恋表征上被归类为安全型的人在婚姻早期比不安全型参与者离婚的可能性更小。
