社会学习的观点明确承认伴侣的个人历史和背景作为夫妻沟通行为的可能原因的作用，但这些假设很少被直接测试，并且在对夫妻的行为研究中，背景的可操作性很少超出互动的二元体。为了扩大我们对夫妻沟通差异的理解，本研究考察了婚姻互动中观察到的行为是否与个人经历和背景因素有关。从414个不同种族的新婚夫妇的家庭对话编码的行为进行了检查，同时在童年和家庭的起源经验，经济压力和压力的生活事件，抑郁症状，关系满意度。一个潜在的因素，代表财务紧张和压力的生活事件是最强的相关性，消极的沟通，与更高水平的压力预测更多的消极。关系满意度是观察到的积极性最强的相关性，更高水平的满意度预测更多的积极性。童年和家庭经历与行为无关，而抑郁症状的结果是复杂和违反直觉的。因为在关系运作的社会学习模型中强调的负面行为，往往是教育干预的目标，与夫妻经历的压力和经济压力可靠地相互关联，背景因素值得在旨在解释和防止婚姻恶化的模型中更加强调。
Social-learning perspectives explicitly recognize the role of partners’ personal histories and contexts as possible causes of couple communication behavior, but these assumptions are rarely tested directly, and operationalizations of context in behavioral research on couples rarely extend beyond the interacting dyad. To broaden our understanding of why couples differ in communication, the current study examined whether observed behaviors in marital interactions covary with individual experiences and contextual factors. Behaviors coded from in-home conversations of 414 ethnically-diverse newlywed couples were examined simultaneously in relation to childhood and family-of-origin experiences, financial strain and stressful life events, depressive symptoms, and relationship satisfaction. A latent factor representing financial strain and stressful life events was the strongest correlate of negative communication, with higher levels of stress predicting more negativity. Relationship satisfaction was the strongest correlate of observed positivity, with higher levels of satisfaction predicting more positivity. Childhood and family experiences were unrelated to behaviors, whereas results for depressive symptoms were complex and counterintuitive. Because the negative behaviors highlighted in social-learning models of relationship functioning, and often targeted in educational interventions, covary reliably with the stresses and financial strains that couples experience, contextual factors merit greater emphasis in models designed to explain and prevent marital deterioration.
