Abstract

The paper presents the results of author’s own research investigating the rela- tionships between attachment styles and marital satisfaction among partners of individuals with a mobility disability. The analyses were intended to determine the strength of attachment behaviours (secure, avoidant and ambivalent [anxious-resistant insecure] attachment) and to identify the general level of relationship satisfaction and its specific aspects (intimacy, dissapointment, self-fulfilment and similarity), as well as the correlation between the two variables. Also, the significance of variables such as the cause of spouse’s disability and manner in which the disability has been perceived by the non-disabled spouse for the cor- relation was also verified. The research material was obtained from 85 spouses of individuals who became disabled as a result of a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke and lower limb amputation. Measures used in the study included the Well-Matched Marriage Questionnaire (KDM-2) developed by M. Plopa and J. Rostowski; Attachment Style Questionnaire (KSP) by M. Plopa; Permanent Disability/Chronic Disease and Accompanying Limitations Questionnaire by S. Byra, as well as author’s own questionnaire.
