The present study extended previous research on relationship functioning by examining the complex interplay between relationship satisfaction, attachment, self-silencing, and anger expression. The study sought to determine whether self-silencing and anger expression-in and anger expression-out play a meditational role in the previously established attachment-relationship satisfaction connection. A racially diverse sample of 110 women over the age of 21, currently involved in heterosexual relationships for one year or longer, completed the following measures in an online survey study: Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire - Revised (Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000); Silencing the Self Scale (Jack, 1991); State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2, Anger Expression subscales (Spielberger, 1999); Relationship Assessment Scale (Hendrick, 1988); and a demographic questionnaire. The findings revealed that attachment related anxiety and avoidance were positively correlated with self-silencing and negatively correlated with relationship satisfaction. While anger expression-out and self-silencing did not emerge as significant mediators, anger expression-in was a mediator of the link between attachment and relationship satisfaction for these women. Multivariate analyses indicated that being unmarried, having greater attachment avoidance or discomfort with intimacy, and more suppressed anger were predictive of lower relationship satisfaction, with anger expression-in emerging as the strongest predictor in this context. The experience of anger is inevitable in the context of intimate relationships, and its regulated expression has the potential to foster growth and greater connection between partners, while its suppression precludes the possibility of dialogue and resolution. The present findings have clinical significance for counseling psychologists as they point to behavioral variables related to the suppression of anger that have direct impact on women's assessment of the quality of their relationships. These behaviors can be addressed in the context of psychotherapy to increase authentic communication and foster growth-enhancing relationships.
