本研究探讨工具性和情感性行为事件与短期和长期婚姻满意度的关系。在14天的时间里，11对痛苦的夫妇和11对不痛苦的夫妇每天观察他们配偶的快乐和不快乐行为。这些行为评级也与几个人格变量有关的性别角色取向和报告的活动在4周前的研究。结果表明，可预测的工具性事件的频率和婚姻满意度的整体和日常评级之间存在显着的负相关关系。与预期相反，情感事件与长期满意度没有显著相关。情感事件发生率与日常生活满意度呈显著负相关。这项研究最重要的发现是妻子的自尊与夫妻对婚姻满意度的相关程度。结果进行了讨论，需要进一步的研究，审查婚姻作为一个来源的相互支持和利益的合作伙伴。最近的一些研究表明，人们对行为技术在婚姻中的应用很感兴趣（Liberman，1970; Patterson，韦斯，& Hops，1974; Stuart，1969; R. L.韦斯、霍普斯和帕特森，1973年）。婚姻冲突和雅阁的社会学习方法关注的是人们在感兴趣的特定情况下的公开行为的发生（例如，Royce &韦斯，1975年）。行为观点认为婚姻幸福最终取决于婚姻伴侣的实际互动。与这种互动不相关的研究结果并不被视为对制定婚姻冲突的解决方案特别有帮助。行为观点提出的一个重要问题涉及快乐的相对贡献，
This study examined the relationship of instrumental and affectional behavioral events to short- and long-term marital satisfaction. Eleven distressed and 11 nondistressed couples made daily observations of their spouses' pleasurable and displeasurable behavior over a 14-day period. These behavioral ratings were also related to several personality variables pertaining to sex role orientation and to reported activity during the 4 weeks prior to the study. Results showed a significant negative relationship between the frequency of displeasurabl e instrumental events and both overall and daily ratings of marital satisfaction. Affectional events were not significantly related to long-term satisfaction, contrary to expectation. Rates of displeasurabl e affectional events correlated negatively with daily ratings of satisfaction at a significant level. The most important finding of the study was the degree to which wives' self-esteem correlated with couple-rated marital satisfaction. The results are discussed with regard to the need for further research that examines marriage as a source of mutual support and benefit for both partners. Interest in the application of behavioral technology to marriage has been demonstrated by a number of recent studies (Liberman, 1970; Patterson, Weiss, & Hops, 1974; Stuart, 1969; R. L. Weiss, Hops, & Patterson, 1973). The social-learning approach to marital conflict and accord is concerned with the occurrence of overt behaviors by persons in the particular situations of interest (e.g., Royce & Weiss, 1975). The behavioral view sees marital happiness as ultimately based on the actual interactions of the marriage partners. Findings that are not readily related to this interaction are not seen as particularly helpful for developing solutions to marital conflict. One important issue raised by the behavioral perspective involves the relative contributions of pleasur
