关系归因，即配偶如何解释他或她的伴侣的行为，研究人员使用了一组同居至少6个月的男同性恋者（N = 175）作为样本。最常用的归因测量的心理测量特性与这个新的人群进行了调查，并发现通过验证性和探索性因素分析是足够的。本研究使用结构方程模型对异性恋已婚夫妇关于关系满意度、归因和消极情感之间关系的分析进行了重复。男同性恋样本的研究结果与之前对异性恋夫妇的研究结果不同；关系归因、因果关系或责任都与关系满意度没有很强的联系。讨论了心理咨询的意义和未来研究的方向。
Relationship attributions, how a spouse explains his or her partner's behavior, were examined using a sample of cohabiting gay males (N = 175) in relationships of at least 6 months. The psychometric properties of the most commonly used attribution measure were investigated with this new population and found to be adequate through confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses. Analyses from heterosexual married couples regarding the association between relationship satisfaction, attributions, and negative affectivity were replicated in this sample using structural equation modeling. The findings from the gay male sample differed from what has been found in previous research with heterosexual couples; neither relationship attributions of causality or responsibility were strongly linked to relationship satisfaction. Counseling implications and directions for future research are discussed.
