The authors investigated whether couples' attachment styles have an impact on perceived social support from partner and on support provided by partner. Eighty-seven couples (174 individuals) completed questionnaires measuring perceived social support from partner (SWS-P scale) and providing partner with the social support (PDWS-P scale). The discrepancy indices (e.g., discrepancy between support provided by wife and husband's perception of support from wife) were employed among depended variables. Adult Attachment Questionnaire (Hazan & Shaver, 1987) was used to measure attachment styles. Husband's attachment style predicted social support in men but not in women. Secure husbands perceived more social support from wives and provided wives with more support than insecure husbands. Moreover, husbands attachment styles accounted for the variance of discrepancy indices of social support (e.g., actual reciprocity of social support). The results show that attachment styles (as probably other personality variables) should be considered in social support studies.
