问题所在我们不认为有必要证明努力J提高正确猜测未来的技能。在某些经验领域，正确的猜测与个人调整的即时行动有关，这一点尤其如此。因此，我们毫无歉意地提出了一个简短的大纲，探索性地预测婚姻中的调整。简而言之，这项研究的问题是发现什么样的预测，以调整婚姻可以从某些项目的知识，在未来的丈夫和妻子的背景。所选的背景项目是那些不需要心理学家或精神病学家的微妙力量来检测的项目，而是根据愿意在研究中合作的人可以容易地引出信息而故意选择的。这样的项目选择在任何意义上都不应该被认为意味着我们低估了婚姻调整中更难以捉摸的心理和生理因素的重要性。事实上，在收集日程表数据的过程中，我们积累了关于婚姻适应中的性格因素的信息，这些信息似乎比我们日程表上的任何项目都更基本。然而，我们希望重申，我们所追求的背景材料很容易获得，可以用来预测婚姻成功调整的概率。精确地描述了
THE PROBLEM. We do not feel it necessary to justify an effort J to increase skill in guessing right about the future. Particularly is this true of fields of experience wherein correct guesses are relevant to immediate acts of personal adjustment. Hence without apology we submit a brief outline of an exploratory effort at predicting adjustment in marriage. Briefly stated, the problem in this study was to discover what prediction as to adjustments in marriage could be made from a knowledge of certain items in the background of prospective husbands and wives. The background items selected were those which would not require the subtle powers of the psychologist or psychiatrist to detect, but were chosen purposely on the basis of the ease with which the information could be elicited from persons willing to co-operate in the study. Such a choice of items should in no sense be taken to imply that we discount the importance of more elusive psychological and physiological factors in marital adjustment. Indeed, in the work of collecting schedule data we accumulated information on personality factors in marital adjustment that appeared more basic than any of the items on our schedules. We wish to reiterate, however, that we were after background material which would be easily obtainable and which could be used for predicting the probabilities of successful adjustment in marriage. A precise description of the relationships obtaining between
