The Influence Of College Students' Adult Attachment And Perception Conflict On The Satisfaction Of Intimacy

This study focused on the influence of adult attachment on heterosexual college students’ satisfaction with intimate relationships and the mediating mechanism of perceived conflict.Consists of two parts: first,adopt the way of dynamic evaluation method with questionnaire method to college students perception level of conflict in the normal course of close relationship and intimate relationship satisfaction tracking measurement,to explore college students in daily intimate relationships,perception level of conflict in adult attachment and intermediary role between the relationship satisfaction.Then,through the six months after the close relationship between stability and degree of satisfaction of college students longitudinal study,further examination of adult attachment two dimensions and the overall level of perceived conflict respectively on the stability of its close relationship satisfaction,after half a year forecast effect and the overall level of perceived conflict in the relationship between adult attachment and relationship satisfaction,stability of the intermediary role.A total of 202 undergraduate couples from universities in nanjing city,jiangsu province,were investigated and heterosexual students who had been in romantic relationships for at least three months were selected as the subjects.The research process was divided into three stages: in the first stage,offline introduction was held,basic information of subjects was completed,the completion of informed consent and adult attachment measurement were completed.The second stage is the dynamic evaluation stage,which combines dynamic evaluation with questionnaire method to conduct intensive tracking measurement 3 times a day for 14 days.During this period,the main participant sent the questionnaire star link to the subject at 10 am,16 PM and 22 PM every day.The subject needed to complete the daily perceptual conflict and intimacy satisfaction online questionnaire within 30 minutes after receiving the We Chat prompt.The third stage was the longitudinal follow-up stage after 6 months,which measured the stability and satisfaction of the intimate relationship of the above subjects after 6 months.The Chinese revised version of the intimacy relationship experience scale(ECR)and the adapted version of the intimacy relationship quality questionnaire(IRQQ)were used to measure the inter-individual variables,namely adult attachment and intimacy relationship satisfaction.Single item was used to measure the individual internal variables in daily intimate relationships,namely daily perceived conflict,daily emotional state and daily intimate relationship satisfaction.Furthermore,the relationship between adult attachment,perceived conflict,satisfaction and stability of intimate relationship was discussed.Finally,the following results are obtained:(1)Two dimensions of adult attachment in college students,attachment avoidance(β=-0.706,p<0.001)and attachment anxiety(β=-0.196,p=0.016),significantly negatively predicted satisfaction with daily intimate relationships,and attachment avoidance(β =0.102,p=0.007)and attachment anxiety(β =0.072,p=0.008)positively predicted the level of daily perceived conflict,respectively.In intimate relationships,the daily perceived conflict level of college students has a significant negative predictive effect on their daily relationship satisfaction(β =-0.390,p<0.001);(2)In daily situations,the perceived conflict level of college students mediated the relationship between the two dimensions of adult attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety and relationship satisfaction;(3)Attachment avoidance of adult attachment(β =-.350,p=.000)and attachment anxiety(β =-.225,p=.000)significantly negatively predicted relationship satisfaction after 6 months.Attachment avoidance(β =-.249,p=.008)and attachment anxiety(β=-.246,p=.010)of adult attachment significantly negatively predicted the stability of romantic relationships after 6 months.Overall perceived conflict levels were significantly negative predictors of relationship stability(β =-.391,p=.000)and satisfaction(β =-.479,p=.002)after 6 months;(4)the overall perceived conflict level of college students can partially mediate the relationship between adult attachment and relationship satisfaction after 6 months,and fully mediate the relationship between adult attachment and relationship stability after 6 months.Conclusion: college students’ adult attachment by affecting the cognitive conflict and impact on intimate relationship satisfaction,namely,attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance tendency of the higher college students perceived conflict level is higher,in close relationship to satisfaction is lower,and as time goes by,to its stability after six months of the close relationship between satisfaction and have a negative impact.
