%X adopting bowlby£¿s attachment theory as the framework to the study of couples£¿ relationships, there has been a growing interest of research regarding the specific contribution attachment plays in adult intimate relation-ships. generally, two different research approaches may be distinguished: a repre-sentational and a behavioural one, focused on specific features of couple£¿s inter-action. this paper addresses the relation between the quality of representation of the intimate relationship and the behaviour within this relational context, using the intimate relationship interview (lima, vieira, soares & collins, 2005) and the couple interaction task (collins, hennighausen, madsen & roisman, 1998). preliminary data suggest a relation between the quality of representation of the intimate relationship and the specific attachment behaviours, emphasizing the relevance of combining multiple assessment methods when considering attach-ment in adult intimate relationships.
