“同意”、“共识”、“理解”和“共享意义”等概念对临床医生来说是非常熟悉的。本文认为，配偶之间的观念相似是构成这些概念的家庭制度的一个重要方面。研究结果支持这样一种观点，即家庭在认知的相似性维度上有所不同，功能更强的家庭的特征是配偶对其婚姻和家庭的认知高度相似。此外，该相似性的结构在2年内是稳定的，平均相似性水平变化不大。在心理压力、婚姻凝聚力和结构变量这三组预测变量中，婚姻凝聚力对婚姻相似性的预测作用最大。讨论了家庭成员之间的认知相似性在临床工作中的重要性。
Concepts such as ''agreement, ''consensus,'' ''understanding,'' and ''shared meaning'' are very familiar to clinicians. It is argued in this article that similarity in perceptions between spouses is a crucial dimension of the family system underlying these concepts. Findings are presented that support the idea that families vary along a dimension of similarity of perceptions, with more functional families characterized by high similarity between spouses' perceptions of their marriage and their family. In addition, the structure of this similarity was stable over 2 years and little change occurred in the mean level of similarity. Of three sets of predictor variables-psychological stress, marital cohesion, and structural variables-marital cohesion was the most powerful predictor of marital similarity. The importance of similarity of perceptions between family members in clinical work is discussed.
