This study examined whether working models of attachment are associated with observed positive emotion, sadness, and anger during marital conflict. Individuals (n = 176) from a longitudinal study of families participated in the current cross-sectional study. Narrative interviews assessed the unique and combined contribution of attachment representations based on parents (adult attachment) and partner (couple attachment). The influence of partner's attachment, depression symptoms, and sex of participant was also examined. Hierarchical linear models demonstrated that one's couple attachment security predicts one's observed positive emotion, whereas the partner's couple attachment security predicts one's observed negative emotion. Partner's depression symptoms moderated the effects of partner's couple attachment. Adult attachment was not related to observed emotional behavior between partners. These findings have important clinical implications for individual, couple, and family therapy.
本研究考察了依恋工作模式是否与婚姻冲突期间观察到的积极情绪、悲伤和愤怒有关。来自家庭纵向研究的个体（n=176）参与了当前的横断面研究。叙述性访谈评估了基于父母（成人依恋）和伴侣（夫妻依恋）的依恋表现的独特和综合贡献。还研究了伴侣的依恋、抑郁症状和参与者的性别对研究的影响。层次线性模型表明，个体的夫妻依恋安全性预测了其观察到的积极情绪，而伴侣的夫妻依恋安全性预测了其观察到的消极情绪。伴侣的抑郁症状调节了伴侣夫妻依恋的影响。成人依恋与伴侣之间观察到的情绪行为无关。这些发现对个体、夫妻和家庭治疗具有重要的临床意义。
