Two studies are discussed which have investigated the association between aspects of social support and parents' attachment to their unborn children. The first study involved interviews of 30 women in the third trimester of pregnancy and utilized a broad conceptualization of social support measured by a questionnaire developed for the study. Overall social support was positively associated with the woman's attachment to her fetus; support from health care professionals was more highly correlated with attachment (.74) than was support from family and friends (.25). The second study utilized questionnaires from 326 couples to investigate the relationship between fetal attachment and satisfaction with the marital relationship. Results revealed a positive association between marital relationship and attachment to the fetus for both men and women. Implications for further research are discussed.
本文讨论了两项研究，这两项研究调查了社会支持方面与父母对未出生子女的依恋之间的关联。第一项研究对30名处于妊娠晚期的女性进行了访谈，并采用了一种宽泛的社会支持概念，该概念通过为该研究开发的问卷进行测量。总体社会支持与女性对胎儿的依恋呈正相关；来自医疗保健专业人员的支持与依恋的相关性更高（.74），高于来自家人和朋友的支持（.25）。第二项研究使用了326对夫妇的问卷来调查胎儿依恋与婚姻关系满意度之间的关系。结果显示，婚姻关系与男性和女性对胎儿的依恋之间均呈正相关。文中还讨论了对进一步研究的启示。
