198 名初婚新婚夫妇的配偶双方在 4 次年度评估中的至少 2 次中提供了有关婚姻质量和抑郁症状的信息。丈夫和妻子的婚姻质量线性下降率相同。对于丈夫和妻子来说，婚姻质量的下降伴随着抑郁症状严重程度的增加，即使对与抑郁无关的症状严重程度进行了控制。与之前的证据相反，抑郁症状与婚姻质量之间的看似合理的纵向因果路径通常不显着，并且在丈夫和妻子之间没有差异。建议未来婚姻质量研究采取双重发展视角，关注婚姻困扰“危险因素”的变化轨迹、婚姻质量的变化轨迹以及这两条轨迹之间的联系。
Both spouses from 198 first-married newlywed couples provided information regarding marital quality and depressive symptoms for at least 2 of 4 annual assessments. Husbands and wives showed equal rates of linear decline in marital quality. For both husbands and wives, decreases in marital quality were accompanied by increases in the severity of depressive symptoms, even with controls for the severity of symptoms not Linked to depression. In contrast to previous evidence, plausible longitudinal causal paths between depressive symptoms and marital quality were generally nonsignificant and did not differ between husbands and wives. It is proposed that future studies of marital quality adopt a doubly developmental perspective in which attention is directed to the trajectory of change in "risk factors" for marital distress, the trajectory of change in marital quality, and the link between these 2 trajectories.
