How Relationship Satisfaction and Negative Communication Trajectories Change in Emerging Adults’ Dating Relationships
Early romantic relationships are salient to the development of healthy future relationships. Yet, little is known about the evolution of romantic relationships of emerging adults since most of the research has been conducted on married or well-established couples. The current study aims to examine how relationship satisfaction and negative communication evolve and are interrelated during emerging adulthood. Using age as a time metric, we conducte…

Child Maltreatment and Polyvictimization as Predictors of Intimate Partner Violence in Women From the General Population of Quebec
This study aimed to (a) evaluate the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and revictimization among a representative sample of 1,001 women living in Quebec, Canada; (b) examine whether IPV was predicted by experiences of child maltreatment; and (c) explore the role of polyvictimization on IPV beyond the effect of any type of exposure. Results indicate the prevalence rates of lifetime IPV (10.5%), IPV over the last year (2.5%), and revict…

Introduction: Some Facebook users have difficulty regulating the amount of time they spend online, and some Facebook features, such as likes, promote habitual use. Theoretically, attachment insecurities could be related to problematic Facebook use, but the findings of past studies were mixed with limited knowledge about potential moderators and mediators of the association between adult attachment and problematic use of Facebook.Aims: The present…

Personnalité et distorsions cognitives des agresseurs sexuels
Bien qu’il n’existe pas de typologie définitive des caractéristiques des agresseurs sexuels à l’égard d’enfants, la documentation scientifique révèle la présence de distorsions cognitives et de traits de personnalité impliqués dans l’étiologie et le maintien des comportements sexuels déviants. Ces facteurs étant également associés au risque de récidive, ils constituent des cibles de traitement de première importance. La présente étude a pour obje…
Selecting the Best Items for a Short-Form of the Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire
Five studies were conducted to develop a short form of the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) questionnaire with optimal psychometric properties. Study 1 involved Item Response Theory (IRT) analyses of the responses of 2,066 adults, resulting in a 12-item form of the ECR containing the most discriminating items. The psychometric properties of the ECR-12 were further demonstrated in two longitudinal studies of community samples of couples (S…

Romantic attachment is a significant target for the prevention and treatment of violence in intimate relationships involving adolescents or emerging adults. (PsycINFO Database Record
Neuroticism and Men’s Sexual Coercion as Reported by Both Partners in a Community Sample of Couples
Compared with other forms of intimate partner violence, very little is known about sexual coercion (SC) and its correlates in intact couples from the general population. Among potential dispositional risk factors for SC, neuroticism has been related to various aspects of couple functioning, including psychological and physical partner abuse. Based on theoretical and empirical evidence, we suggest the existence of two maladaptive profiles on the n…
Extradyadic Sexual Involvement and Sexual Compulsivity in Male and Female Sexual Abuse Survivors
We tested a mediation model in which the relationship between child sexual abuse (CSA) severity and extradyadic sexual involvement (ESI) is explained through sexual compulsivity. Participants were 669 adults currently involved in an intimate relationship who completed self-report questionnaires. Prevalence of ESI was 32% in women and 57% in men survivors, more than twice the rates among participants with no CSA history. Sexual compulsivity was si…
Échelle auto-rapportée de psychopathie de Levenson
L’échelle auto-rapportée de psychopathie de Levenson (LSRP ; Levenson, Kiehl & Fitzpatrick, 1995) est un instrument visant à évaluer les traits de personnalité psychopathiques au sein de la population générale. Il conceptualise la psychopathie en deux facteurs distincts, mais interreliés, appelés psychopathie primaire et secondaire. La validité de l’instrument dans son format original est bien démontrée, mais aucune donnée n’est disponible en ce …
Early Termination from Couple Therapy in a Naturalistic Setting
Early exposure to violence, domestic violence, attachment representations, and marital adjustment
The present study investigates the effects of violent experiences in childhood on current domestic violence and marital adjustment, using adult attachment theory as a conceptual framework. A nonclinical sample of 644 Canadian adults in long‐term romantic relationships completed measures of adult romantic attachment, conflict tactics scales, and dyadic adjustment. Structural equation modeling revealed that early experiences of violence affect adul…
Attachment, sexual experience, and sexual pressure in romantic relationships
The goal of this research was to extend the previously documented associations between attachment style and sexual experiences in samples of adolescents and college students to adult couples in committed romantic relationships. A sample of 273 French‐Canadian heterosexual couples aged 18–35 years completed measures of attachment‐related anxiety and avoidance, sexual coercion, and sexual experiences in their relationships. Avoidant attachment was …
Impact psychologique de la séparation et du divorce
Cette étude traite de l'impact psychologique du divorce sur les ex-conjoints. Les données ont été recueillies au moyen d'un questionnaire administré à 127 personnes (97 femmes et 30 hommes). La sélection de la majorité des sujets s'est effectuée à partir de listes de noms fournies par des organismes d'aide aux personnes séparées et divorcées. La présentation des résultats reflète tout d'abord les caractéristiques socio-démographiques des personne…
Development and Validation of a Brief Version of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale With a Nonparametric Item Analysis Model.
The main purpose of the current research was to develop an abbreviated form of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) with nonparametric item response theory. The authors conducted 5 studies, with a total participation of 8,256 married or cohabiting individuals. Results showed that the item characteristic curves behaved in a monotonically increasing function for all items of the brief 4-item version of the DAS (DAS-4). The DAS-4 proved to be informati…
Does Anger Towards the Partner Mediate and Moderate the Link Between Romantic Attachment and Intimate Violence
Personality and Marital Adjustment
Using the five-factor model of personality, this study investigates the contribution of personality traits to marital adjustment. The sample is composed of 446 couples who completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory, which measures the personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, as well as the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Results of hierarchical regression analyses indicated that self-reported and part…
Coping Strategies as Moderators of the Relationship between Attachment and Marital Adjustment
The present study examined the relationship between spouses' attachment styles, coping strategies, and marital satisfaction. The study included 263 couples who responded to an attachment questionnaire, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Secure attachment was positively related to task-focused coping whereas anxious/ambivalent attachment was related to emotion-focused coping. Avoidant attachment was rel…

Masculinity, Femininity, and Marital Satisfaction
This study sought to investigate the relationship between masculinity, femininity, and marital satisfaction. A number of polynomial multiple regression analyses were performed in an effort to determine the validity of six theoretical models linking sex roles to marital satisfaction. These are the femininity model, masculinity model, sex‐typed model, additive androgynous model, interactive androgynous model, and curvilinear model. The sample was c…
