Attachment is associated with important relationship characteristics. Based on partners' scores of attachment dimensions anxiety and avoidance a cluster analysis with 304 couples was conducted and it was examined whether attachment-related couple types differ in self-reported relationship quality and dyadic coping. 3 couple types were identified: secure couples (N=114, both partners with low scores on anxiety and avoidance), fearful-avoidant couples (N=62, both partners with higher scores on both attachment dimensions than secure couples) and mixed-couples (N=128, men with higher anxiety scores than women). Secure couples reported better relationship quality as well as more positive and less negative dyadic coping compared to fearful-avoidant and mixed couples. Findings are discussed regarding the inclusion of partners' attachment characteristics in diagnostics and marital therapy.

Abstract

Attachment is associated with important relationship characteristics. Based on partners' scores of attachment dimensions anxiety and avoidance a cluster analysis with 304 couples was conducted and it was examined whether attachment-related couple types differ in self-reported relationship quality and dyadic coping. 3 couple types were identified: secure couples (N=114, both partners with low scores on anxiety and avoidance), fearful-avoidant couples (N=62, both partners with higher scores on both attachment dimensions than secure couples) and mixed-couples (N=128, men with higher anxiety scores than women). Secure couples reported better relationship quality as well as more positive and less negative dyadic coping compared to fearful-avoidant and mixed couples. Findings are discussed regarding the inclusion of partners' attachment characteristics in diagnostics and marital therapy.
