本研究采用计量学方法，以婚姻适应测验（MAT; H. J. Locke & K. M. Wallace，1959）。也就是说，作者研究了婚姻适应是否最好只被认为是适应的一个“维度”，或者在“不和谐”和“不和谐”的夫妇之间是否也有绝对的差异。对447对结婚约2年的夫妇提供的数据进行分析，为潜在的婚姻不和谐类别提供了一致的证据，表明婚姻不和谐可以被视为当前样本中约20%的夫妇所经历的一种性质不同的状态。婚姻评估的影响进行了概述。
This study used taxometric methods to investigate the latent structure of the construct of marital adjustment as indexed by the Marital Adjustment Test (MAT; H.J. Locke & K. M. Wallace, 1959). That is, the authors examined whether marital adjustment is best thought of as a "dimension" of adjustment only or whether there also are categorical differences between "discordant" and "nondiscordant" couples. Analyses of data provided by 447 couples married for approximately 2 years provided converging evidence for a latent category of marital discord, suggesting that marital discord can be viewed as a qualitatively distinct state experienced by approximately 20 % of the couples in the current sample. Implications for marital assessment are outlined.
