尽管压力事件和不良的心理健康状况预示着社会各阶层的亲密关系都会恶化，但对于缺乏促进成功应对的经济资源的贫困夫妇来说，它们可能尤其有害。为了检验这一假设，佛罗里达州家庭形成研究对压力、心理健康和关系满意度之间的关联进行了检验，该研究对 2000 多名佛罗里达州居民进行了分层随机抽样，其中包括低收入参与者的超样本。正如预测的那样，与较富裕的人相比，生活压力事件和心理健康问题导致穷人的关系满意度差异更大。这些结果表明，针对低收入人群的关系满意度模型可能需要比针对较富裕人群开发的模型更多地强调背景和个人变量。
Although stressful events and poor mental health predict worse intimate relationships in all segments of society, they may be especially detrimental for poorer couples who lack the financial resources that facilitate successful coping. To examine this hypothesis, associations among stress, mental health, and relationship satisfaction were examined in the Florida Family Formation study, a stratified random sample of more than 2000 Florida residents that included oversamples of low-income participants. As predicted, stressful life events and mental health problems accounted for more variance in relationship satisfaction among poorer than among more affluent individuals. These results suggest that models of relationship satisfaction addressing low-income populations may need to emphasize contextual and individual variables more than models developed in more affluent populations.
