Indirect pathways between depressive symptoms and marital distress: The role of conflict, communication, attributions, and attachment style

Article Abstract:

An estimated of 415 heterosexual couples were recruited, and a series of regression analyses was conducted, to test hypotheses separately for men and women. The results suggested that for women, it is not the depressive symptomatology per se but the specific attachment style in relationship with others that makes them vulnerable to marital distress, and vice versa.
