This study examined direct and indirect links among attachment insecurities (anxiety, avoidance) and sexual satisfaction through sexual motives in couples expecting their first child. A sample of 204 first-time pregnant couples completed online questionnaires. Dyadic path analyses revealed that attachment and sexual satisfaction were not directly associated, but rather indirectly associated through three sexual motives: partner approval, self-affirmation, and intimacy. For non-pregnant partners, attachment anxiety was related to higher sexual satisfaction through higher intimacy, whereas attachment avoidance was related to lower sexual satisfaction through lower intimacy. Results are discussed in light of clinical implications for expecting couples.
本研究通过首次怀孕夫妇的性动机，考察了依恋不安全感（焦虑、回避）与性满意度之间的直接和间接联系。204对首次怀孕夫妇的样本完成了在线问卷。二元路径分析显示，依恋与性满意度并非直接相关，而是通过三种性动机：伴侣认可、自我肯定和亲密感间接相关。对于未怀孕的伴侣，依恋焦虑通过更高的亲密感与更高的性满意度相关，而依恋回避则通过更低的亲密感与更低的性满意度相关。根据对怀孕夫妇的临床意义对结果进行了讨论。
