对来自317对居住在社区的老年夫妇的丈夫和妻子的独立访谈显示,在控制了可能混淆被调查者的社会人口统计学和健康状况变量之后,一方的抑郁症状对另一方的抑郁症状有显著影响。关系质量缓和了这种影响,夫妻关系亲密时,配偶抑郁症状对被调查者症状的影响比夫妻关系不亲密时更大,而与配偶的亲密关系缓冲了被调查者自身脆弱和经济困境的潜在抑郁影响。丈夫自己的变量在夫妻关系不密切时比在夫妻关系密切时更能解释其症状的差异,而与妻子的亲密关系增加了丈夫受妻子健康状况影响的脆弱性。
Independent interviews with husbands and wives from 317 community-dwelling older couples showed that depressive symptoms in 1 spouse had a significant impact on depressive symptoms in the other spouse, after controlling for potentially confounding respondent sociodemographic and health status variables. Relationship quality moderated the influence, with spouse depressive symptoms contributing more of the variance to a respondent's symptoms when a couple were close than when they were not and closeness to a spouse buffering the potentially depressive effects of a respondent's own frailty and financial distress. Husband's own variables explained more of the variance in his symptoms when the couple were not close than when they were, and closeness to his wife increased a husband's vulnerability to the impact of the wife's health status.
