本研究以公平理论为指导，探讨癌症患者夫妻之间的互让平衡。健康夫妇作为对照组。正如预期的那样，癌症患者比健康人在他们的关系中获得了更多的过度利益。与我们的预期相反，他们的伴侣并没有感到受益不足;他们觉得自己和健康人一样受到公平对待。此外，感知的公平与关系的质量有关：所有参与者（患者，他们的伴侣和健康人）通常报告质量最低时，他们觉得在他们的关系中受益不足。然而，公平问题对所有患者和伴侣并不同等重要。当病人身体严重受损时，病人和他们的伴侣都不再感到受益不足。
Guided by equity theory, the present study examined the balance of give-and-take in couples facing cancer. Healthy couples were included as a control group. Patients with cancer felt, as expected, more overbenefited in their relationship than did healthy people. Contrary to our expectation, their partners did not feel underbenefited; they felt as equitably treated as did healthy people. Moreover, perceived equity was related to quality of the relationship: all participants (patients, their partners, and healthy people) generally reported the lowest quality when they felt underbenefited in their relationship. Equity concerns were not equally important to all patients and partners, however. When the patient was seriously physically impaired, neither patients nor their partners were troubled any longer by feeling underbenefited.
