The present study aimed to examine the psychological mechanism underlying the relationship between attachment style and intimate relationship satisfaction in women. For this purpose, a cross-sectional research design was employed in which 233 women ( = 28.16 years) who were currently in a romantic relationship completed a questionnaire that assessed attachment style, relationship satisfaction, self-esteem, and flexible goal adjustment (FGA). The results showed that both high attachment anxiety and high attachment avoidance were associated with low relationship satisfaction. Self-esteem mediated the relationship between attachment insecurity and relationship satisfaction. Moreover, the mediation effect of self-esteem was moderated by FGA, such that only in women with high FGA was self-esteem a significant mediator in the relationship between an insecure attachment style and relationship satisfaction. The results have implications for enhancing women's relationship satisfaction.
本研究旨在探究女性依恋风格与亲密关系满意度之间关系的心理机制。为此,采用了横断面研究设计,共有 233 名(年龄 = 28.16 岁)正在恋爱关系中的女性完成了一份问卷,问卷评估了依恋风格、关系满意度、自尊和灵活目标调整(FGA)。结果表明,高依恋焦虑和高依恋回避均与低关系满意度相关。自尊在依恋不安全感和关系满意度之间起中介作用。此外,自尊的中介作用受到 FGA 的调节,只有在具有高 FGA 的女性中,自尊才是不安全依恋风格与关系满意度之间关系的重要中介。研究结果对提高女性的关系满意度具有启示意义。
