The authors examined how positive perceptions about partners’ attachment security predicted supportive behaviour and satisfaction in newlywed marriage. The authors tested a mediation model in which positive perceptions were associated with adaptive support behaviour, which in turn predicted increases in marital satisfaction. The self -report measures of attachment security, perceptions of partner’s attachment security, and marital satisfaction within 6 months of marriage and again 1 year later were completed by 172 couples. Social support behavior was assessed by videotaped interactions at the initial session. Structural equation models indicated that positive perceptions served a relationship - enhancing function that was enacted, in part, through couples’ supportive interactions.
