At each phase, some instruments have been administered: at 7th month of pregnancy, the adult representation of attachment experiences were examined with Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; George, Kaplan & Main, 1985); at 7th month of pregnancy and 4th,9th and 12th month of child life the dyadic adjustment were assessed with Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976). Results indicated that not were correlations between quality of adult attachment representations in the couple; parents representations of attachment not were associated with quality of couple's dyadic adjustment from pregnancy to parenthood. The quality of parents dyadic adjustment decreased significantly from pregnancy to 12th month of child life and this process is a developmental trajectory which is correlated between the partners in the couple.

Abstract

The research is a longitudinal study, from the 7th month of pregnancy till the 12th month of child life, and examine 30 couples. The work tries to study: 1) the role of the quality of adult representation of attachment as regards the quality of dyadic adjustment of couples' relationaship; 2) the development of couples' dyadic adjustment in transition to parenthood. At each phase, some instruments have been administered: at 7th month of pregnancy, the adult representation of attachment experiences were examined with Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; George, Kaplan & Main, 1985); at 7th month of pregnancy and 4th,9th and 12th month of child life the dyadic adjustment were assessed with Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976). Results indicated that not were correlations between quality of adult attachment representations in the couple; parents representations of attachment not were associated with quality of couple's dyadic adjustment from pregnancy to parenthood. The quality of parents dyadic adjustment decreased significantly from pregnancy to 12th month of child life and this process is a developmental trajectory which is correlated between the partners in the couple. Finally, the duration of couple relationship is correlated with quality of dyadic adjustment, in the time.
