“…Considerando-se que o MIO tende a guiar afetos e comportamentos específicos durante interações com figuras de apego (Bowlby, 1979) e levando-se em conta que o parceiro amoroso se torna a figura de apego na vida adulta, estudos têm demonstrado relação entre estratégias de resolução de conflitos e estilos de apego. O estilo de apego influencia a regulação do afeto predominante diante de eventos estressantes, tais como as situações conflitivas (Wang, King, & Debernardi, 2012). Assim, pesquisas indicam que o apego seguro está associado a estratégias de comunicação positiva entre maridos e esposas (Salvatore, Kuo, Steele, Simpson, & Collins, 2011).…”

“…Marchand (2004) comprovou maior frequência de conflito em homens com apego inseguro comparativamente àqueles com um apego seguro. Além disso, indivíduos com apego ansioso tendem a ter um autoconceito negativo e são mais suscetíveis a responder a uma situação de ameaça com emoções exageradas e com medo de perder o parceiro (Wang et al, 2012), experimentando e expressando sentimentos mais intensos de mágoa durante episódios de conflito (Overall, Girme, Lemay Jr, & Hammond, 2014). Ademais, usam menos as habilidades de construção de solução de problemas e o estilo positivo de comunicação (Bogda & Sendil, 2012).…”

RESUMOEste artigo avaliou o papel preditor dos estilos de apego na resolução do conflito conjugal. Foram investigados 428 homens e mulheres com idades entre 18 e 75 anos, de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos, residentes na região sul do Brasil. Os participantes responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico, ao The Conflict Resolution Style Inventory (CRSI) e à Escala de Apego Adulto (EAA). Realizou-se uma análise de regressão linear múltipla para testar as hipóteses. Os resultados apontam que os estilos de apego inseguros foram preditores dos estilos de resolução de conflitos destrutivos, enquanto que o estilo de apego seguro foi preditor da resolução de conflitos construtiva. Esses achados apontam para a importância de considerar os estilos de apego dos membros do casal na compreensão do padrão de relacionamento conjugal diante de situações conflitivas. Palavras-chave: estilos de apego, conflito conjugal, relações conjugais. ABSTRACTThis article evaluated the predictive role of attachment styles in marital conflict resolution. Sample was composed by 428 men and women aged between 18 and 75 years old, from different socioeconomic levels, residents in southern Brazil. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire,

“…Dewitte et al (2010) also found that attachment security was related to weaker cortisol responses and less withdrawal behaviors to signs of partner's rejection. More secure people tend to report lower levels of jealousy, suspicion, and worries about relationship exclusivity as compared to less secure people and to experience lower levels of fear, guilt, shame, sadness, inferiority, and anger (e.g., Donovan & Emmers-Sommer, 2012;Guerrero, 1998;Marazziti et al, 2010;Radecki-Bush et al, 1993;Wang, King, & Debernardi, 2012). More secure people tend to report lower levels of jealousy, suspicion, and worries about relationship exclusivity as compared to less secure people and to experience lower levels of fear, guilt, shame, sadness, inferiority, and anger (e.g., Donovan & Emmers-Sommer, 2012;Guerrero, 1998;Marazziti et al, 2010;Radecki-Bush et al, 1993;Wang, King, & Debernardi, 2012).…”

Attachment theory as a framework for the promotion of optimal relationships mario mikulincer and phillip r. shaverIn his exposition of attachment theory, John Bowlby (1973, 1980, 1982, 1988) proposed that interactions with loving, caring, and supportive relationship partners and the resulting sense of attachment security (confidence that one is socially valued and that others will be available and helpful when needed) are building blocks of mental health and social adjustment. Adult attachment researchers have found that a person's sense of attachment security is related to the development of positive character traits and moral virtues and provides a solid foundation for harmonious and stable relationships (see Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007a, for a comprehensive review). Because of its emphasis on mature, intimate, supportive, and mutually satisfying close relationships, attachment theory provides a valuable conceptual framework for the study of optimal relationship development.In this chapter, we first present a brief overview of attachment theory and our model of attachment processes in adulthood (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007a), an extension of Bowlby's theory that is now supported by 25 years of research by personality and social psychologists. Next, we focus on the anchoring of attachment security in expectations concerning relationship partners' sensitivity and responsiveness (expectations organized within a secure-base script), and review research findings showing that the sense of security is associated with positive appraisals of self and others and with social adjustment. We then review studies of dating and marital relationships showing that dispositional and experimentally induced feelings of security can transform otherwise destructive reactions to relationship partners' undesirable, hurtful behavior, improve a person's handling of interpersonal conflict, foster empathy and support for a partner in need, and promote positive relational emotions. attachment theory: basic concepts Bowlby (1982) proposed that human infants are born with an innate psychobiological system (the attachment behavioral system) that motivates 56 of use, available at https:/www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.

“…On the other hand, when a man cheats on his partner emotionally, the woman partner also thinks that sexual infidelity has happened as well (Wilson et al 2011). Beyond gender and the type of infidelity, according to Wang et al (2012), reactions to romantic infidelity differ; some people, who are constructive, try to solve the problems in their relationship, some people, who are passive, try to deny or avoid the situation, and some people behave revengefully, that is, they try to take a revenge or behave aggressively.…”

“…Several variables may impact how people react to infidelity and how they cope with it such as the discovery method of the infidelity (Afifi et al 2001), and cognitive appraisal (Wang et al 2012). The present study focuses on ruminative tendencies and its two subtypes called brooding and reflection.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between rumination and emotional reactions to infidelity. The sample of the study consisted of 72 participants from Turkey who reported being cheated on by their dating relationship. A Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al. 1988) was used to measure the reactions to infidelity and the Ruminative Response Scale (Treynor et al. 2003) was used to measure rumination. Canonical correlation analyses were utilized to determine the relationships between rumination with the canonical variables of Brooding and Reflection and the emotional reactions to infidelity with the canonical variables of Positive Affect and the Negative Affect of participants. Results indicated that brooding and reflection, and negative and positive effects are interrelated. In other words, rumination is positively related with negative effects and negatively related with positive effects as reactions to infidelity.
