Administered an attribution questionnaire and a partner behavior checklist to 20 nondistressed and 22 distressed couples (as determined by a dyadic adjustment scale). Instruments contained indirect and direct probes. Wives were aged 20–59 yrs; husbands were aged 20–61 yrs; 11 distressed couples had been referred to a clinic for marital therapy. Spouses were asked about frequent as well as infrequent relationship events and about partner behaviors that had positive or negative impacts on the recipient. Attributions were coded for content and contribution to the relationship. Results show that husbands in unsatisfying relationships reported more attributional thoughts than did happily married husbands, whereas wives in the 2 groups did not differ. Behaviors having negative impacts elicited more attributional activity than did positive behaviors. Behavioral frequency and impact interacted in ways contrary to predictions. Finally, distressed couples were particularly likely to report distress-maintaining attributions and were particularly unlikely to report relationship-enhancing attributions when compared with their nondistressed counterparts.(40 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
