Couples in stepfamily after divorce: a resiliency example - This study investigates possible differences concerning romantic attachment and marital quality through a comparison between a sample of couples in stepfamilies after the divorce of one or both partners (N = 18) and another sample of intact couples (N = 68). The Experiences in Close Relationships scale is utilised to examine romantic attachment, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale is employed to assess dyadic adjustment and the Parental Bonding Instrument is used to measure the quality of parental bonding for each partner. The partners in stepfamily couples reported that they have negatively perceived maternal care during their childhood and described a greater levels of anxiety concerning romantic attachment; however step-family couples showed protective variables in couple relationship, that were perceived satisfying and represent a resiliency factor in regard to the break-up of their first marriage and the lack of maternal care.

Keywords: Stepfamilies, dyadic adjustment, romantic attachment, parental bond-ing, resiliency.
