“…O impacto positivo ou negativo dos conflitos na relação de casal dependerá da maneira pela qual estes são manejados e resolvidos (Reese-Weber & Bartle-Haring, 1998). A partir dessa premissa, o estudo das estratégias de resolução de conflitos conjugais, definidas como comportamentos por meio dos quais os cônjuges buscam encaminhar e resolver seus desentendimentos (Marchand & Hock, 2000), tem sido cada vez mais relevante. As estratégias de resolução de conflitos estão definidas como construtivas ou destrutivas.…”

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.

“…In addition to attachment orientations, research has found depression to be an important correlate of marital conflict behavior (Marchand & Hock, 2000). Symptoms of depression, such as hostility and irritability, as well as dysphoria and withdrawn-avoidant behavior, may interfere with an individual's ability to use adaptive behaviors to resolve conflict.…”

The present study examined both husbands' and wives' attachment orientations and depressive symptoms in predicting reports of marital conflict behaviors. Married couples (N = 60) completed questionnaires to assess their attachment orientations, depressive symptoms, and perceptions of positive and negative conflict behaviors in the marital relationship. Using hierarchical regression analyses, statistical models were tested wherein husbands' and wives' reports of marital conflict behaviors were regressed on their own and their spouses' attachment orientations and depressive symptoms. The results suggest that both attachment orientations and depressive symptoms were important predictors of reported marital conflict behaviors. However, different predictors were found for husbands' and wives' reports of positive and negative conflict behaviors. In general, spouses' attributes played only a small role in predicting reports of marital conflict behaviors. KEY WORDS: attachment; depressive symptoms; marriage; conflict behaviors.A considerable body of evidence supports the notion that behaviors displayed during marital conflict are important predictors of relationship functioning and marital dissolution (e.g., Gottman, 1994). Given the important consequences of marital conflict behaviors, identifying the variables that may predict conflict behaviors has become a focus of research investigation. The present study examines the role of individuals' and their spouses' attachment orientations and depressive symptoms in their reports of positive and negative marital conflict behaviors.According to attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969(Bowlby, /1982), internal working models of self and others develop in the context of early parent-child interactions. One outgrowth of internal working

Background and Aim: Infertility is associated with physical, financial, psychological, and social stress, and affects all aspects of infertile couples' lives. It is among the most stressful life events and can inflict psychological damage on couples. The present study sought to evaluate the effects of a relationship enrichment educational program, based on the theory of planned behavior, on infertile couples. Methods:This was a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study. The study population was all infertile couples, which had referred to the offices of obstetricians in Birjand, Iran. Thirty-two infertile couples were recruited and randomly allocated to either an experimental or a control group. Data were collected at three time points, before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention, using a researcher-made instrument developed based on the constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior. The study intervention was a relationship enrichment educational program, which was developed based on the theory of planned behavior and implemented in six ninety-minute sessions in three weeks. Education was provided using the lecture method, PowerPoint presentations, and video clips. The SPSS software (v. 16.0) was used to analyze the data through performing independent sample t test and the repeated measures analysis of variance.Findings: At baseline, there were no significant differences between the groups regarding the participants' demographic characteristics and the mean scores of the constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior. However, following the study intervention, the scores for attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention constructs of the theory significantly increased from 79.59 ± 13.6, 43.7 ± 9.7, 2.5 ± 1, and 1.5 ± 0.6 to 95.63 ± 11.4, 51.8 ± 8.1, 4.3 ± 0.7, and 2.7 ± 0.5, respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusions:The relationship enrichment educational program can significantly improve the scores of the constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior among infertile couples.
