本研究在三年的时间内，以《老年人夫妻依恋问卷》为工具，两次测量了75名老年人样本的依恋模式，从依恋类型和依恋维度两个角度考察了依恋的稳定性，并考察了生活事件的数量及个体对生活事件的认知对依恋稳定性的影响。主要得到以下结论：1. 在三年时间中，老年人夫妻依恋变化较大，并且夫妻依恋表现出了一定趋势的变化，即焦虑类型减少，逐渐向安全型与回避型转化；焦虑维度得分下降。2. 老年人平均每人经历的生活事件为1件，其中健康方面的生活事件最多，其次是家庭生活方面的生活事件，人际交往方面的生活事件最少。3. 生活事件发生时，老人报告的配偶提供的生活照料高于情感支持，并且对生活照料的满意度也显著高于情感支持的满意度。个体向配偶寻求的情感支持和生活照料之间没有显著差异，但个体向配偶寻求的情感支持和生活照料分别显著低于配偶提供的情感支持和生活照料。4. 生活事件的数量可以负向显著预测安全维度的变化，老年人经历的生活事件越多，安全维度得分越低；在个体对生活事件的认知中，配偶提供的情感支持可以显著正向预测安全维度的变化，老年人报告的配偶提供的情感支持越多，安全维度得分高；老年人报告情感支持满意度可以显著负向预测焦虑维度和回避维度的变化，情感支持满意度越高，老年人焦虑维度和回避维度得分越低。

The present study investigated stability of marital attachment of older adults and how life events influence the stability within a 3-year longitudinal study from attachment type and attachment dimension separately, with a sample of 75 older adults aged from 60 to 88. The main results show that:1. The marital attachment of older adults was mild stable over the 3-year period; it was characterized more by fluidity than by stability. Over time, older adults became less preoccupied. 2. Older adults reported 1 life event per capita over the 3-year period. And older adults reported most life events related health, the number of life events related to family life is less, interpersonal life events at least. Health problems become the most concern of the older adults.3. Older adults reported the partner provided more life care than emotional support; and older adults report higher life care satisfaction than emotional support satisfaction. With respective to support seeking, older adult reported no significant differences between emotional support seeking and life care seeking. But the emotional support and life care that partner provided is higher than emotional support seeking and life care seeking for partner.4. Numbers of life events significantly predicted the change of security dimension negatively, the more life events, the lower the security score; emotional support can also significantly predicted the change of security dimension positively, the more emotional support, the higher the security scores; Meanwhile, emotional support satisfaction was predictor of the change of both anxiety and avoidance dimensions, the more satisfied to emotional support, the lower the scores of anxiety and avoidance dimensions.
