“…We assume that irrespective of a person's own attachment insecurity, partner effects of attachment insecurity should affect forgiving reactions and transgression-related rumination. Individuals with greater attachment-avoidance or attachment-anxiety show and less sensitive responsiveness and availability, lower relational skills in terms of empathy and perspective taking (Chung, 2014;Kimmes & Durtschi, 2016), as well as a lower ability to self-disclose (Mikulincer & Nachshon, 1991). Under stress and conflict, these lower relational skills in one partner foster negative reciprocity and trigger negative responses in the other partner (cf.…”

This study examined the associations between individual differences in romantic attachment and transgression frequency and reactions in daily life. Data from both members of the heterosexual relationship were collected to examine how a persons' attachment orientation influenced their own and their partner's perceived transgressions and reactions to these transgressions. Across 10 days, 139 heterosexual couples reported on perceived transgressions by their partner. If transgressions occurred, they also reported on subsequent reactions such as forgiveness and rumination. Actor-partner interdependence models were used to investigate actor and partner effects of attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance on the number of experienced transgressions and reactions to transgressions. Attachment anxiety was not predictive with respect to any of the outcomes of interest. Higher attachment avoidance predicted fewer transgressions and more revenge in reaction to transgressions in men but not in women. Higher levels of attachment avoidance predicted more avoidance and rumination following a transgression. Additionally, a partner effect from attachment avoidance to avoidant reaction was observed. Findings are discussed regarding how attachment may account for differences in appraisal processes and emotion regulation strategies when confronted with relational transgressions.

“…Nesse contexto, o perdão pode ser visto como um meio para evitar dissoluções matrimoniais, uma vez que afeta de forma direta e positiva a satisfação conjugal (Chung, 2014;Pelucchi, Paleari, Regalia, & Fincham, 2013), a resolução de confl ito (Fife, Weeks, & Stellberg-Filbert, 2013), a longevidade (Toussaint, Owen, & Cheadle, 2012) e a qualidade do casamento (Fincham, Beach, & Davila, 2007).…”

ResumoTeve-se como objetivo conhecer a relação entre o perdão conjugal e os valores humanos, bem como verifi car o poder deste último em predizer a remissão marital. Para isso, contou-se com 313 pessoas, casadas ou em união estável, do estado da Paraíba (70%) e do Piauí (30%). As idades variaram de 18 a 70 anos (M = 35,00; DP = 11,41), sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (67,7%). Estes responderam os instrumentos: Escala de Perdão Conjugal, Questionário de Valores Básicos e um Questionário Sociodemográfi co. Foram executadas duas Análises de Regressão Linear Múltipla (método Stepwise). Na primeira, tendo como variáveis previsoras as subfunções valorativas, constatou-se que a subfunção interativa explica o perdão conjugal. Contribuindo de forma direta na explicação da concessão do perdão entre casais. Na segunda, fi xaram-se como variáveis explicativas os tipos de orientação. Esta revelou que os valores sociais explicam a remissão matrimonial, contribuindo de forma direta. Diante destes resultados, conclui-se que os indivíduos que priorizam valores sociais encontram-se mais predispostos a conceder o perdão dentro do casamento.Palavras-chave: Perdão, valores humanos, conjugalidade.

This study aimed to understand the relationship between marital forgiveness and human values and to discover the latter's power to predict whether a marriage will recover. The study included 313 participants who were married or in a long-term relationship, 70% from the state of Paraíba and 30% from the state of Piauí. The participants' ages ranged from 18 to 70 years (M = 35.0; SD = 11.41), the majority being female (67.7%). The participants answered three questionnaires: the Marital OffenceSpecifi c Forgiveness Scale, the Basic Values Questionnaire, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Two stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. The fi rst, which took the value subfunctions as the predictive variables, found that the interactive subfunction explains marital forgiveness, directly contributing to the explanation of whether forgiveness is granted between couples. The second analysis took the type of orientation as explanatory variables. It found that social values directly contribute to explaining whether the marriage recovers. In light of these results, one may conclude that individuals who prioritize social values are more disposed to grant forgiveness within a marriage.
