最近增加使用日记的措施，促使人们质疑完成日记对参与者的影响。经过广泛的培训后，已婚夫妇完成了为期15天的关于他们夫妻分歧的事件相关日记，重点是婚姻冲突的情感和行为方面。作为参与安慰剂效应的对照，日记组（n=110）和非随机对照组（n=57）在报告期间还完成了简短的每日检查表，并进行了最低限度的培训。在本报告所述期间之前和之后，夫妇们参与了录像的冲突解决任务，这些任务被编码为冲突行为和表达的情绪。方差分析比较组表明，完成15天的事件相关日记没有明显的影响，观察丈夫和妻子的表达的情绪和行为在婚姻互动。父母在简短的日常日记中的报告表明，在婚姻功能的全球措施中，两组之间的差异很小。与此同时，丈夫在家中的自我报告表明，在记录期间，他们对婚姻质量的看法有所下降。因此，虽然在实验室中观察到的婚姻互动的基础上出现的冲突策略没有差异，某些自我报告的响应建议潜在的反应效果。
Recent increase in the use of diary measures has prompted questions about the effect completing diaries has on participants. After extensive training, married couples completed event-contingent diaries about their couple disagreements for 15 days, focusing on emotional and behavioral aspects of marital conflict. Serving as a control for placebo effects of participation, the diary group (n=110) and a non-randomized control group (n=57) also completed brief daily checklists, with minimal training, over the reporting period. Before and after the reporting period, couples engaged in videotaped conflict-resolution tasks that were coded for conflict behaviors and emotions expressed. ANOVAs comparing groups indicated that completing event-contingent diaries for 15 days had no apparent effects on observed husbands’ and wives’ expressed emotions and behaviors during marital interactions. Parental reports on the brief daily diaries indicated minimal differences between the groups in global measures of marital functioning. At the same time, husbands’ self-reports in the home indicated decreasing perceptions of marital quality over the recording period. Thus, although no differences in conflict tactics emerged based on observed marital interactions in the laboratory, certain self-reports of responding suggested potential reactivity effects.
