婚姻嵌入在配偶更广泛的社会关系网络中，与父母和公婆的关系质量与婚姻质量相关。在家庭系统理论的指导下，利用268对不同性别夫妇婚姻最初几年的三波二元数据，我们首先进行了一个随机截取的行动者-伴侣相互依赖交叉滞后面板模型（RI‐APIM‐CLPM），以考察夫妻与父母、公婆和配偶的关系质量之间的家庭内纵向关联。然后，丈夫和妻子的孝顺义务被添加为三种社会关系中自己和伴侣关系质量的家庭间差异的预测因素。在丈夫中，一种社会关系的关系质量提高（例如，与父母）预测其他社会关系中的关系质量降低（例如，与岳父母的关系和婚姻质量）。我们对家庭间差异的研究表明，高水平的孝顺义务预示着更高的代际关系质量和婚姻质量。通过同时考虑多种社会关系的家庭内关联以及子女义务如何解释家庭间关系质量的差异，我们有助于对中国夫妇的浪漫伙伴关系如何嵌入更广泛的家庭系统进行细致入微的理解。
Marriage is embedded in the web of spouses' broader social ties, and relationship quality with parents and parents‐in‐law is associated with marital quality. Guided by Family Systems theory and using three waves of dyadic data from 268 Chinese different‐sex couples across the first several years of marriage, we first conducted a Random‐Intercept Actor‐Partner Interdependence Cross‐lagged Panel Model (RI‐APIM‐CLPM) to examine the within‐family longitudinal associations among husbands' and wives' relationship quality with parents, parents‐in‐law, and spouse. Then, husbands' and wives' filial obligations were added as predictors of between‐family differences in their own and their partner's relationship quality in the three social ties. Among husbands, increased relationship quality in one social tie (e.g., with parents) predicted reductions in relationship quality in the other social ties (e.g., relationships with parents‐in‐law and marital quality). Our examination of between‐family differences demonstrated that high levels of filial obligations predicted higher intergenerational relationship quality and marital quality. By simultaneously considering the within‐family associations of multiple social ties and how filial obligations account for between‐family differences in relationship quality, we contribute to a nuanced understanding of how Chinese couples' romantic partnerships are embedded in their broader family system.
