虽然亲密在我们最亲密的关系中扮演着核心角色,但我们对夫妻如何处理日常生活中的亲密冲突却知之甚少。我们使用了100对已婚夫妇的748例自然主义婚姻冲突的日记报告,以测试是否亲密关系作为一个主题与其他冲突主题;冲突的特点,如复发和意义;和配偶的建设性,愤怒和抑郁的冲突表达。二元层次线性模型(HLM)的结果显示,亲密关系的问题不太可能被讨论沿着与其他主题(如,儿童,财务)。结果还表明,亲密冲突可能是经常性的,并举行了相对较高的水平,目前和长期的关系的重要性。丈夫和妻子通常以建设性的方式处理亲密冲突(例如,表达解决问题和积极情绪)。然而,丈夫的抑郁症状成为处理亲密冲突的有效调节剂:在包括抑郁症状水平较高的丈夫的夫妇中,在家庭冲突中讨论亲密关系与丈夫和妻子更多地使用愤怒表情和抑郁表情有关。目前的研究结果增强了对自然主义背景下亲密冲突的理解,并提供了临床治疗意义和未来的研究方向。
Although intimacy plays a central role in our closest relationships, we know surprisingly little about how couples handle intimacy conflicts in their daily lives. We used 100 married couples' diary reports of 748 instances of naturalistic marital conflict to test whether intimacy as a topic was associated with other conflict topics; conflict characteristics, such as recurrence and significance; and spouses' constructive, angry, and depressive conflict expressions. Results from dyadic hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) revealed that intimacy issues were not likely to be discussed along with other topics (eg, children, finances). Results also indicated that intimacy conflicts were likely to be recurrent and held relatively high levels of current and long-term importance to the relationship. Husbands and wives generally handled intimacy conflicts in constructive ways (eg, expressed problem solving and positive emotions). However, husbands' depression symptoms emerged as a potent moderator of how intimacy conflicts were handled: Among couples that included a husband with higher levels of depression symptoms, discussing intimacy in conflict in the home was associated with greater use of angry expressions and depressive expressions by both husbands and wives. The current findings enhance understanding of intimacy conflicts in naturalistic contexts and offer clinical treatment implications and future research directions.
