Abstract

This study investigated whether relationship satisfaction mediates the association between attachment styles and mate-retention strategies. Four-hundred and twenty individuals in a heterosexual committed relationship participated in this study (79.7% women; Mage = 23.22; SDage = 8.07). Participants completed questionnaires assessing attachment styles, relationship satisfaction, and mate-retention strategies. The results replicated previous findings by showing that insecure attachment is positively associated with benefit-provisioning and cost-inflicting mate-retention strategies and extended previous research by showing that relationship satisfaction mediates these associations. The present findings confirm evolutionary predictions on romantic relationships that relationship satisfaction may serve as a monitor determining how individuals act to preserve their relationships.

依恋风格与伴侣保持：探究关系满意度的中介作用。

本研究探讨了关系满意度是否在依恋类型和配偶保留策略之间起中介作用。420名异性恋者参与了这项研究(79.7%为女性;法师= 23.22;SDage = 8.07)。参与者完成了评估依恋类型、关系满意度和配偶保留策略的问卷调查。结果重复了先前的研究结果，表明不安全依恋与利益提供和成本施加的配偶保留策略呈正相关，并扩展了先前的研究，表明关系满意度介导了这些关联。目前的研究结果证实了浪漫关系的进化预测，即关系满意度可以作为一个监视器，决定个人如何采取行动来维持他们的关系。

期刊介绍： Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences (EBS) publishes manuscripts that advance the study of human behavior from an evolutionary perspective, with an emphasis on work that integrates evolutionary theory with other approaches and perspectives from across the behavioral sciences, including the range of subdisciplines within psychology as well as the social sciences (e.g., sociology, political science, criminology) and humanities (e.g., history, literature studies). This includes a special interest in work that explores: The role of evolved mechanisms in real-world phenomena, especially when the findings hold implications for policy or practice;The expression of evolved cognitive, behavioral, and physiological mechanisms across contexts and the consequences they have for the patterns and structure of society;The interplay between evolved psychological mechanisms and cultural influences in driving behavior, including papers that test established theory in new cultural contexts. EBS publishes both empirical and theoretical manuscripts and welcomes quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method approaches. EBS will consider research on non-human animals provided it offers some insight on a current question in the study of human behavior. The journal is also interested in articles that seek to translate evolutionary reasoning into implications for policy and practice.
