An association between adult attachment and marital satisfaction has been well documented. However, relatively few studies have examined processes by which adult attachment affects marital satisfaction. The present study tested the hypothesis that dyadic perspective taking and conflict resolution efficacy mediate the association between adult attachment and marital satisfaction. Data from samples of married males(N=150) and females(N=130) were used to test the hypothesis. Male and female completed surveys assessing their adult attachment, dyadic perspective taking, conflict resolution efficacy, and marital satisfaction. For males and females, the results indicated that Anxious and Avoidant dimensions of adult attachment predicted marital satisfaction significantly. Dyadic perspective taking and conflict resolution efficacy partially mediated the association between these two dimensions and marital satisfaction. Namely, High levels of Anxious or Avoidant dimension were associated with marital dissatisfaction to the extent that it is associated with low levels of dyadic perspective taking and conflict resolution efficacy. This findings of this study suggest that counselors or clinicians might help them by improving perspective taking and conflict resolution efficacy.
