在健康动态交易模型的指导下，当前的研究调查了自尊和婚姻不稳定之间的相互作用如何影响未来的抑郁症状。基于纵向数据，本研究表明，较高的自尊与较低的婚姻不稳定相关，从而降低出现抑郁症状的可能性。同时，不稳定的婚姻关系与自尊水平较低有关，进而增加抑郁症状。因此，本研究的结果提供了关于人格关系交易对抑郁症状影响的初步证据。此外，对于丈夫和妻子来说，人格关系交易与抑郁症状之间的前瞻性关联并不平行。对于丈夫来说，通过自尊从婚姻不稳定到抑郁症状的间接途径是重要的。对于妻子来说，通过婚姻不稳定从自尊到抑郁症状的间接途径是重要的。讨论了理论意义和未来的研究方向。
Guided by the dynamic-transaction model of health, the current study investigated how the interplay between self-esteem and marital instability affects future depressive symptoms. Based on longitudinal data, the present study demonstrated that higher self-esteem was associated with lower marital instability, thus decreasing the likelihood of depressive symptoms. At the same time, an unstable marital relationship was related to lower levels of self-esteem, which in turn increased depressive symptoms. Thus, the results of the current study provided preliminary evidence regarding the effects of the personality-relationship transaction on depressive symptoms. In addition, the prospective associations between personality-relationship transaction and depressive symptoms was not parallel for husbands and wives. For husbands, the indirect pathway from marital instability to their own depressive symptoms via self-esteem was significant. For wives, the indirect pathway from self-esteem to their own depressive symptoms via marital instability was significant. Theoretical implications and future directions for research are discussed.
