W artykule przedstawiono wybrane psychospołeczne czynniki modyfikujące proces adaptacji do wdowieństwa występujące u starzejących się wdów. W badaniach własnych postawiono hipotezę o istnieniu stylu odwiązania od zmarłego partnera życiowego, rozumianego jako: połączenie retrospektywnej oceny stylu przywiązania do partnera i poczucia samotności emocjonalnej i/lub społecznej. Badania przeprowadzone na 124 wdowach (średni czas wdowieństwa wynosi 7,3 lata) pokazały, że istnieje specyficzny styl odwiązania od partnera u kobiet z retrospektywnym lękowym stylem przywiązania w przeszłości. Uzyskany w pozytywny związek pomiędzy retrospektywnym bezpiecznym stylem przywiązania i samotnością społeczną wymaga dalszych badań.

The article presents selected psychosocial factors modifying the process of adaptation to widowhood that occur in aging widows. In the present study, it was hypothesised that there is a style of ’detachment’ from a deceased life partner which is understood as the combination of a retrospective assessment of style of attachment to a partner and the sense of emotional andor social loneliness. The research performed on 124 widows (average duration of widowhood was 7.3 years) showed that there is a specific style of detachment from a partner in women with retrospective anxiety style of attachment in the past. A positive relation between a retrospective safe style of attachment and social loneliness requires further research.
