Relación entre el apego y la satisfacción en la pareja: una revisión aplicada
The definition of attachment is conceptualized as the capacity of individuals to build and maintain affective bonds with other people throughout their life cycle. Among the main functions of attachment we find the search for security and protection, provided by primary caregivers in infancy, and then in social relationships, mainly by the couple, during adulthood (Manning et al., 2017). Couple satisfaction is the favorable or unfavorable attitude toward the relationship at a given point in time. The present research seeks to identify the relationship between attachment and couple satisfaction in adults. A search was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines (Page et al., 2021) in the Web of Science, Scielo, Scopus and Ebsco databases. Ten articles relating attachment to couple satisfaction were selected and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings indicate that there is a relationship between attachment and couple satisfaction. Likewise, people with a secure attachment style are those who report higher levels of satisfaction in their couple relationship, whereas, insecure attachment styles (anxious-worried attachment, avoidant-independent attachment and disorganized attachment), reported lower levels of satisfaction.
