This study showed that an adult's separation from the spouse elicits response patterns that are comparable to those displayed by children during separation from an attachment figure. Three separation reaction patterns identified in children (avoidance, contact-seeking, angry resistance) were translated into three adult patterns and incorporated in a 17-item Separation Reaction Scale. Other measures included open-ended questions, the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Test, the Daily Hassles Scale, measures of adult attachment style, the Parental Bonding Instrument, and questions about childhood separation experiences. These measures were administered to 118 married adults who were experiencing short marital separations due to job-related travel. Results revealed that children's behavioral differences in separation reactions could be identified in the adult sample. Adult attachment style was a strong predictor of subjects' separation reactions. Four additional variables affected subjects' separation reactions: (a) Subjects' roles as traveling or home-based spouses (travelers behaved more anxiously and home-based spouses more avoidantly); (b) marital happiness (happier subjects behaved more securely and less avoidantly); (c) intensity of daily hassles experienced while apart from the spouse (secure subjects engaged in more anxious-ambivalent behaviors when experiencing more intense hassles); and (d) spouse's separation reactions (subjects behaved more securely when their spouse behaved more securely). Analyses of subjects' childhood experiences revealed that in contrast to secure subjects, insecure subjects had a greater number of childhood separations from parents and were more likely to have had a parent who traveled for business. Additional analyses involved comparisons of various coding methods for single-item and multi-item instruments of both adult attachment style and parental caregiving pattern. It was suggested that future research investigate a three-stage separation distress pattern in adults during longer marital separations; the potential benefits of social support during marital separation; attachment-related partner choice; differential effects of maternal and paternal caregiving; and more non-verbal, emotional features of adult attachment style rather than mere cognitive manifestations.Subjects--Topical Terms:
