抑郁的婚姻不和谐模型认为，婚姻不和谐是抑郁症发生的重要前因。尽管经验证据支持这一前提，但这项研究中没有一项是针对拉丁裔的。本研究的目的是检验99名巴西女性的婚姻满意度与抑郁之间的纵向关系。使用结构方程模型，结果表明，婚姻满意度是两年后抑郁的强烈预测因素。婚姻满意度也与同时发生的抑郁有关。这些结果证明，抑郁的婚姻不和谐模型是一个合适的理论模型，可以用来概念化拉美裔女性的婚姻不和谐和抑郁，并表明在这一人群中使用夫妻疗法治疗抑郁的潜在效用。
The Marital Discord Model of Depression maintains that marital discord is an important antecedent in the development of depression. Although empirical evidence supports this premise, none of this research has been done with Latinos. The purpose of this study was to test the longitudinal relationship between marital satisfaction and depression among 99 Brazilian women. Using structural equation modeling, results indicated that marital satisfaction was a strong predictor of depression 2 years later. Marital satisfaction was also related to cooccurring depression. These results provide evidence that the Marital Discord Model of Depression is an appropriate theoretical model for the conceptualization of marital discord and depression with Latina women and suggest the potential utility of using couples therapy for treating depression among this population.
