Previous studies found gender differences in relationship satisfaction and sexuality. We tested gender differences in associations between attachment, a lasting relationship determinant, and two outcomes, relationship and sexual satisfaction. This study improves on earlier research by examining these associations in one Actor-Partner-Interdependence-Model, making direct statistical testing between outcomes possible. Furthermore, a community and a distressed sample (N = 113 heterosexual couples each) were included to attempt replication across samples and to examine clinical implications. In both genders, actor attachment avoidance negatively affected relationship satisfaction and (with one exception) sexual satisfaction. Also in both genders, partner attachment avoidance negatively affected sexual satisfaction. However, whereas partner attachment avoidance influenced female relationship satisfaction, it did not affect male relationship satisfaction. The findings replicated across samples. Clinical implications are discussed.
以往的研究发现，在关系满意度和性方面存在性别差异。我们测试了依恋（一种持久关系的决定因素）与两种结果（关系满意度和性满意度）之间关联的性别差异。本研究通过在一个行为者-伴侣-相互依赖模型中检验这些关联，改进了早期研究，使得对结果进行直接统计检验成为可能。此外，纳入了一个社区样本和一个有困扰的样本（各有113对异性恋伴侣），以尝试在不同样本间进行重复验证，并探讨临床意义。在男女两性中，行为者的依恋回避均对关系满意度和（有一个例外）性满意度产生负面影响。同样在男女两性中，伴侣的依恋回避均对性满意度产生负面影响。然而，虽然伴侣的依恋回避影响了女性的关系满意度，但对男性的关系满意度没有影响。研究结果在不同样本间得到了重复验证。文中讨论了临床意义。
