This longitudinal study investigated marital satisfaction trajectories across the first 2 years of parenthood. Data were collected from new parents (couples) 6 weeks before the birth of their first child, and then at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postpartum. Growth curve models revealed two key findings. First, for highly anxious individuals, satisfaction was lower or declined when they perceived their partners as less supportive and as behaving more negatively toward them. Second, for highly avoidant individuals, satisfaction was lower or declined when they perceived more work-family conflict and greater demands from their families. The findings suggest that attachment insecurities predict dissatisfaction in new parents primarily when stressors block the pursuit of important attachment goals.
这项纵向研究调查了初为人父母的头两年中婚姻满意度的变化轨迹。数据是从新父母（夫妇）的第一个孩子出生前 6 周开始收集的，然后在产后 6、12、18 和 24 个月时再次收集。增长曲线模型揭示了两个关键发现。首先，对于高度焦虑的个体来说，如果他们认为伴侣的支持较少，对他们的行为更消极，那么他们的满意度就会降低或下降。其次，对于高度回避的个体来说，如果他们感到工作-家庭冲突更多，家庭对他们的要求更高，那么他们的满意度就会降低或下降。研究结果表明，依恋不安全感主要在压力源阻碍了对重要依恋目标的追求时，预测新父母的不满。
