对年轻、中年和退休已婚夫妇的对话进行了分析，以揭示老年婚姻中沟通的特点。研究表明，退休夫妇在他们的言论中最不善于分析，最不明确。一般来说，退休夫妇认为婚姻问题并不突出，他们的谈话也不冲突。然而，在退休群体中，那些感觉到婚姻中突出的、未解决的问题的人非常矛盾，产生了一连串相互对抗的声明。中年夫妇在讨论中也是不冲突和不明确的，但与退休夫妇不同的是，当婚姻问题突出时，中年夫妇会变得善于分析。年轻夫妇有一种相对激烈的互动风格，以分析性、对抗性和幽默的评论交替为特征。结果表明，婚姻交流是由发展、生命阶段和队列影响共同塑造的。
Conversations involving young, middle-aged and retired married couples were analyzed to shed light on the characteristics of communication within older marriages. The research indicated that retired couples were the least analytic and most non-committal in their remarks. Generally, retired couples rated marital problems as non-salient and their conversations were non-conflictive. However, those among the retired group who perceived salient, unresolved problems in the marriage were extremely conflictive, producing chains of reciprocal confrontative statements. Middle-aged couples were also non-conflictive and non-committal in their discussions but, unlike the retired couples, middle-aged couples became analytic when marital problems were salient. Young couples had a comparatively intense, engagement style of interaction, characterized by alternation between analytic, confrontative and humorous remarks. The results suggest that marital communication is shaped by a combination of developmental, life stage and cohort influences.
