鉴于最近的理论和实践中强调抑郁症和婚姻质量之间的主题内关联，本研究进行了三个目标：研究随着时间的推移，抑郁症状和婚姻质量之间的主题内关联，以解决这些协会的大小和方向的性别差异，并确定是否神经质缓和这些协会的强度。共有164对新婚夫妇提供了8波结婚4年的数据。分层线性模型证实了婚姻满意度和抑郁症状之间存在双向受试者内关联。性别差异很少显著。虽然神经质加强了婚姻困扰对症状的影响，正如预测的那样，它削弱了症状对丈夫婚姻困扰的影响。这些研究结果的理论和实践意义进行了讨论。
Given the emphasis on within-subject associations between depression and marital quality in recent theory and practice, this study was undertaken with three goals: to examine within-subject associations between depressive symptoms and marital quality over time, to address gender differences in the magnitude and direction of these associations, and to determine whether neuroticism moderates the strength of these associations. A total of 164 newlywed couples provided 8 waves of data over 4 years of marriage. Hierarchical linear modeling confirmed the existence of bidirectional within-subject associations between marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms. Gender differences were rarely significant. Although neuroticism strengthened the effect of marital distress on symptoms as predicted, it weakened the effect of symptoms on marital distress among husbands. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
