The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the dyadic interdependence of the relationships between partners' perception of closeness with one another and their pre- and postnatal bonds with a child.
A total of 213 first-time expectant couples participated in the study both during pregnancy (1st stage) and after the child's birth (2nd stage).
The participants completed the following measures: the one-item pictorial Inclusion of Other into the Self (IOS) scale and the brief maternal and paternal versions of the Antenatal Attachment Scales (MAAS/PAAS, respectively) and Postnatal Attachment Scales (MPAS/PPAS, respectively).
The Actor-Partner Interdependence Models (APIM) for distinguishable dyads were performed and revealed the positive effect of parents' perceptions of closeness with their partners regarding both their own and their partners' bond with their child during pregnancy. However, after the child's birth, for both mothers and fathers, only their own perception of closeness with their partners was associated with their bond with their child. Moreover, only the actor effects of bonding with a child during pregnancy as well as the change in perception of closeness with a partner on the partner's bond with their child after birth were found (no partner effect).
Couple attributes during the transition to parenthood should be emphasized to promote the development of parental pre- and postnatal bonds.
本纵向研究旨在考察伴侣双方对彼此亲近感的感知与其对孩子的产前和产后依恋之间的关系的双重相互依赖性。
共有 213 对首次怀孕的夫妇在怀孕期间（第 1 阶段）和孩子出生后（第 2 阶段）参与了这项研究。
参与者完成了以下测量：一项包含他人的自我图式（IOS）量表和简短的母亲和父亲版产前依恋量表（MAAS/PAAS）和产后依恋量表（MPAS/PPAS）。
对可区分的对偶进行了演员-伙伴相互依赖模型（APIM）分析，结果表明，父母对彼此亲近感的看法对他们自己和伴侣在怀孕期间与孩子的关系有积极影响。然而，在孩子出生后，母亲和父亲都只与自己与伴侣的亲近感与他们与孩子的关系有关。此外，只有在怀孕期间与孩子建立联系的演员效应以及与伴侣亲近感的变化对伴侣在孩子出生后的联系有影响（没有伙伴效应）。
应强调在向父母身份转变期间的夫妻属性，以促进父母产前和产后联系的发展。
