在这项研究中，我们探讨了关系满意度的时间不稳定程度是否可能增加我们对关系质量和抑郁症之间有据可查的关联的理解。我们假设，更大的关系满意度不稳定性将与更高的抑郁症状，控制平均满意度水平。我们对131名同居和已婚女性进行了12周的关系满意度和抑郁症状评估，并使用12周内得分的个体内标准差作为不稳定性指数。结果表明，正如假设的那样，关系满意度不稳定预测的方差超过平均满意度预测的抑郁症状;妇女的每周关系满意度波动更大，往往有较高的抑郁症状。相比之下，抑郁症状的时间不稳定性并不能预测关系满意度的变化，超过平均抑郁症状的预测。前瞻性分析初步表明，满意度不稳定可能之前，而不是之后抑郁症状的升高。结果表明，在未来的研究探索婚姻质量和抑郁症之间的联系，评估关系满意度不稳定的效用。
In this study, we explored whether the degree of temporal instability in relationship satisfaction might add to our understanding of the well-documented association between relationship quality and depression. We hypothesized that greater relationship satisfaction instability would be associated with higher depressive symptoms, controlling for mean satisfaction levels. We conducted 12 weekly assessments of relationship satisfaction and depressive symptoms in a sample of 131 cohabiting and married women, and used intraindividual standard deviations of scores over the 12 weeks as an index of instability. Results indicated that, as hypothesized, relationship satisfaction instability predicted variance in depressive symptoms beyond that predicted by mean satisfaction; women whose weekly relationship satisfaction fluctuated more widely tended to have higher depressive symptoms. In comparison, temporal instability in depressive symptoms did not predict variance in relationship satisfaction beyond that predicted by mean depressive symptoms. Prospective analyses tentatively suggested that satisfaction instability may precede rather than follow elevated depressive symptoms. Results suggest the utility of assessing relationship satisfaction instability in future studies exploring links between marital quality and depression.
