本研究调查了异性混合体重（即，一名超重和一名健康体重伴侣）和体重匹配夫妇（N = 43 对）之间的冲突。参与者的性别、一起吃饭、伴侣健康支持和伴侣的负面影响被视为体重状况和冲突之间关联的调节因素。使用二元模型，我们发现，与体重匹配的夫妇相比，混合体重的夫妇，特别是包括超重女性和健康体重男性的夫妇，在一般情况下和日常工作中都会出现更大的冲突；然而，随着伴侣的支持力度加大，一般冲突就会减少。据报告更频繁地一起吃饭的混合体重夫妇也报告了更大的一般冲突。这些发现表明，体重混合的夫妇可能比体重匹配的夫妇经历更多的冲突，但来自伴侣的支持可以缓解这种冲突。这项研究表明，与混合体重状态相关的人际动态可能对浪漫伴侣的关系和个人健康很重要。
This study examines conflict among heterosexual mixed-weight (i.e., one overweight and one healthy weight partner) and matched-weight couples (N = 43 couples). Participant sex, eating together, partner health support, and negative partner influence were examined as moderators of the association between weight status and conflict. Using dyadic models, we found that mixed-weight couples, specifically couples including overweight women and healthy weight men, reported greater conflict both generally and on a daily basis, compared to matched-weight couples; however, general conflict was reduced with greater perceived support from the partner. Mixed-weight couples who reported eating together more frequently also reported greater general conflict. These findings suggest that mixed-weight couples may experience more conflict than matched-weight couples, but perceived support from the partner can buffer this conflict. This research suggests that interpersonal dynamics associated with mixed-weight status might be important for romantic partners' relational and personal health.
