Abstract(s)
Vários estudos têm sido realizados relacionando a vinculação na idade adulta, o estabelecimento de relações íntimas e exploração, nomeadamente em contexto laboral (e.g.: Coy, Green, & Davis, 2012; Feeney & Thrush, 2010; Feeney & Van Vleet, 2010; Richards & Schat, 2011; Wu & Yang, 2012), não explorando outros específicos, como é exemplo a expatriação (Feeney & Thrush, 2010; van Ecke, Chope & Emmelkamp, 2005). É objetivo deste estudo perceber em que medida a representação da vinculação na idade adulta se relaciona com a representação da relação íntima, de cariz amoroso, e a capacidade de exploração com foco na experiência de expatriação de um dos seus elementos. Os participantes do estudo foram um casal com idades entre 32 e 36 anos, que mantém uma relação íntima há 6 anos e o tempo de separação devido à expatriação de 3 anos. Foram utilizados instrumentos de cariz representacional, com recurso à AAI e IRI, para avaliar a representação da relação na infância e na relação íntima atual, e a entrevista de exploração AEI, para avaliar comportamentos de cariz exploratório. Os resultados indicam que a representação segura da vinculação, favorece relações íntimas mais positivas e integradas, assim como uma maior predisposição para explorar.
Several studies have been conducted related to Adult Attachment, the establishing of close relationships and exploration, particularly in labour context (e.g.: Coy, Green, & Davis, 2012; Feeney & Thrush, 2010; Feeney & Van Vleet, 2010; Richards & Schat, 2011; Wu & Yang, 2012), but not scanning other specific contexts, as exemplified by the expatriation (Feeney & Thrush, 2010; van Ecke, Chope & Emmelkamp, 2005). It is the aim of this study to realize to what extent the representation of Adult Attachment is related to the representation of close relationships, of loving nature, and the capacity of operation with a focus on expatriation experience of one of the elements. The participants in the study were a couple aged among 32 and 36, who has maintained a close relationship for 6 years and the time of separation due to expatriation for three years. It was used representational instruments, using the AAI and IRI to assess the representation of the relationship in childhood and current close relationship, and AEI exploration interview to assess exploratory context behaviours. The results indicate that the secure representation of the attachment, promotes more positive and integrated intimate relationships, as well as a greater propensity to explore.
