UNASSIGNED: Seventeen studies were included, sourced from electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycInfo, with no time limitations, up to April 2023. The search employed terms like \"attachment AND marital infidelity.\" Study quality was evaluated using the Risk of Bias Assessment Tool from RevMan version 5.3.
UNASSIGNED: The meta-analysis involved a total of 13,666 participants, ranging from 208 to 4047 individuals. Findings showed that higher levels of anxiety and avoidance in attachment were significantly associated with increased marital infidelity (r = 0.18, 95 % CI = 0.14-0.22, p < 0.0001). Conversely, weaker attachment insecurity was linked to reduced rates of marital infidelity. Additionally, both dismissive and fearful attachment styles correlated with marital infidelity, with respective weighted effect sizes of r = 0.07, p < 0.001 (95 % CI = 0.04-0.10) and r = 0.19, p < 0.001 (95 % CI = 0.10-0.29). No association was found between preoccupied attachment and infidelity.
UNASSIGNED: Individuals with insecure attachment styles, specifically those with high levels of anxiety or avoidance, are more likely to engage in marital infidelity. Attachment styles should be a focus in couples therapy, especially for treatment related to infidelity. Assessing and addressing these underlying attachment issues can better guide therapists in their work with couples facing infidelity.
■纳入了17项研究,来自包括PubMed在内的电子数据库,Scopus,WebofScience,和PsycInfo,没有时间限制,到2023年4月。搜索采用了诸如“依恋和婚姻不忠”之类的术语。“使用RevMan5.3版的偏差风险评估工具评估研究质量。
■荟萃分析共涉及13,666名参与者,范围从208到4047个人。研究结果表明,较高的依恋焦虑和回避水平与婚姻不忠增加显着相关(r=0.18,95%CI=0.14-0.22,p<0.0001)。相反,依恋不安全感减弱与婚姻不忠率降低有关。此外,不屑一顾和恐惧的依恋风格都与婚姻不忠有关,相应的加权效应大小为r=0.07,p<0.001(95%CI=0.04-0.10),r=0.19,p<0.001(95%CI=0.10-0.29)。在全神贯注的依恋和不忠之间没有发现关联。
■附件样式不安全的个人,特别是那些高度焦虑或回避的人,更有可能从事婚姻不忠行为。依恋风格应该是夫妻治疗的重点,特别是与不忠有关的治疗。评估和解决这些潜在的依恋问题可以更好地指导治疗师在面对不忠的夫妇的工作中。
