The current study examined how the gender and adult attachment orientations of romantic relationship partners contribute to each participant's experience and expression of anger in their relationship. Specifically, we collected data from both members of a heterosexual relationship to examine how a person's adult attachment orientation influences their own, and their partner's, anger-related behavior. In addition, we examined whether one partner's responses to another's anger predicted the other's anger-related response tendencies. Furthermore, we explored the contribution of participants' sex to their own and their partners' anger-related behavior. Hypotheses were tested using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM), a data analytic strategy that takes into account the nonindependence of dyadic data. Results yielded partial support for theory-based predictions about the influence of adult attachment orientations on anger-related reactions and accommodation behavior. The implications of these findings for counseling practice and future research are discussed.
当前的研究考察了浪漫关系伴侣的性别和成人依恋取向如何影响每位参与者在恋爱关系中愤怒情绪的体验与表达。具体而言，我们从异性恋关系的双方收集数据，以探究一个人的成人依恋取向如何影响其自身以及伴侣的愤怒相关行为。此外，我们还考察了一方对另一方愤怒情绪的反应是否能预测另一方的愤怒相关反应倾向。再者，我们探讨了参与者的性别对其自身以及伴侣的愤怒相关行为的影响。我们运用了 Actor-Partner 相互依赖模型（APIM）来检验假设，这是一种考虑到二元数据非独立性的数据分析策略。结果部分支持了基于理论的预测，即成人依恋取向对愤怒相关反应和调适行为的影响。本文还讨论了这些研究结果对咨询实践和未来研究的启示。
