在探索长期婚姻的情绪气候时，本研究使用了一种观察编码系统来识别中年和老年配偶在讨论婚姻问题时所表达的特定情绪行为。研究对象为五十六对年龄和婚姻满意度不同的夫妇。夫妻表达的情感行为因年龄、性别和婚姻满意度的不同而不同。在老年夫妇中，解决冲突的方式不像中年夫妇那样情感上消极，而是更加深情。夫妻之间以及幸福婚姻与不幸福婚姻之间的差异也被发现，妻子比丈夫更消极，而丈夫比妻子更具防御性，不幸福的婚姻比幸福的婚姻涉及更多的负面情感交换。
In exploring the emotional climate of long-term marriages, this study used an observational coding system to identify specific emotional behaviors expressed by middle-aged and older spouses during discussions of a marital problem. One hundred and fifty-six couples differing in age and marital satisfaction were studied. Emotional behaviors expressed by couples differed as a function of age, gender, and marital satisfaction. In older couples, the resolution of conflict was less emotionally negative and more affectionate than in middle-aged marriages. Differences between husbands and wives and between happy and unhappy marriages were also found. Wives were more affectively negative than husbands, whereas husbands were more defensive than wives, and unhappy marriages involved greater exchange of negative affect than happy marriages.
