dc.description.abstractAs suggested by Bowlby (1988), individual attachment orientations can change during periods of chronic attachment system activation, such as the transition to parenthood. This study aims to build evidence for a promising dyadic model of increased attachment security by examining associations between partner support, self-efficacy, and attachment change in partners navigating new parenthood. 98 couples completed a semistructured interview and self-report questionnaires before and after childbirth. Results found self-efficacy and partner support buffered against attachment insecurity over time for men but not women. This study used a longitudinal, multilevel design to build meaningful evidence supporting a dyadic model of chronic attachment change.
