本研究探讨了墨西哥裔美国人的丈夫和妻子之间的文化适应和婚姻冲突的多个维度之间的关系。参与者是从北方加州的一个健康维护组织招募的151名丈夫和妻子，并进行了单独采访。文化适应度越高的丈夫和妻子越不回避冲突，在争吵中也越能表达自己的感受。那些更适应文化的丈夫报告了更多关于性和考虑对方的冲突。双文化和更适应文化的丈夫报告说，他们的妻子更口头和身体上的攻击性，与单一的墨西哥丈夫。研究结果提供的证据表明，与文化适应程度较低的丈夫和妻子相比，文化适应程度较高的丈夫和妻子在婚姻中更直接地表达冲突。
This study examined the relationship between acculturation and multiple dimensions of marital conflict among Mexican American husbands and wives. Participants were 151 husbands and wives who were recruited from a health maintenance organization in northern California and individually interviewed. More acculturated husbands and wives engaged in less avoidance of conflict and were more expressive of their feelings in an argument. Husbands who were more acculturated reported more conflict concerning sex and consideration for the other. Bicultural and more acculturated husbands reported that their wives were more verbally and physically aggressive, compared with mono-Mexican husbands. The findings provide evidence that more acculturated husbands and wives are involved in more direct expressions of conflict in their marriages, compared with less acculturated husbands and wives.
