项目摘要

The effect of retirement on martial quality has typically been examined in small-scale exploratory studies limited to a narrow range of marital content. Findings have been more suggestive than conclusive. The proposed project will investigate marital quality before and after retirement using a sample of sufficient size to permit multivariate data analyses. Specific aims are to compare retired couples with working couples regarding the correspondence between husbands' and wives' perceptions of their marital quality, and to compare retired husbands and their wives concerning their direct retrospective accounts about the effect of retirement on their marriage. The study population--500 individuals or 250 married couples--will be drawn from among the participants in the V.A. Normative Aging Study in boston. The project will separately interview marital partners from 125 couples in which the husband has retired within the last year (retired couples), along with partners from 125 age-peer couples in which the husband is employed full-time (working couples). Marital quality among individuals will be measured by standard assessments of marital adjustment, behavior complaints about the spouse, and household task responsibility. In addition, retired spouses will be asked for their direct retrospective views about the marital consequences of retirement. Interviews will gather other data about the household and about work and retirement experience. Multivariate statistical techniques will be used to test whether the similarity (by comparative mean level) and the consensus (by inter-spouse correlation) of husbands' and wives' views about their marital quality vary between working and retired couples. Regression models and multivariate analyses of variance will be used to control for factors (such as health, presence of children) that could confound worker-retiree comparisons. Among retired couples retrospective evaluations of the effect of retirement on marriage will be compared by gender and across circumstances of retirement using contingency table analysis. in addition, narrative data from open-ended questions will be examined to describe qualitatively the nature of marital gratifications and complaints as voiced by retired husbands and their wives. Accurate knowledge about the likely consequences of retirement will be of practical benefit to prospective retirees and their spouses, as well as to practitioners and planners concerned with the lifestyles of older couples.

退休对武术素质的影响通常在以下方面进行了研究：小规模的探索性研究仅限于狭窄的婚姻范围内容。调查结果更具启发性，而非结论性。拟议的项目将调查退休前后的婚姻质量足够大小的样本以进行多变量数据分析。具体的目的是将退休夫妇与工作夫妇在以下方面进行比较丈夫和妻子对婚姻的看法之间的对应关系质量，并比较退休的丈夫和他们的妻子关于退休对他们的影响的直接回顾性账户婚姻。研究人群——500 个人或 250 对已婚夫妇——将被抽取来自 V.A. 的参与者波士顿规范老龄化研究。该项目将分别采访来自125对夫妇的婚姻伴侣。丈夫在去年退休（退休夫妇），以及与丈夫受雇的 125 对同龄夫妇的伴侣全职（工作夫妇）。个人之间的婚姻质量将通过婚姻调整、行为投诉的标准评估来衡量关于配偶和家庭任务责任。此外，退休配偶将被询问他们对此事的直接回顾性看法退休对婚姻的影响。访谈将收集其他数据关于家庭以及工作和退休经历。多变量将使用统计技术来测试相似性（通过比较平均水平）和共识（通过配偶间相关性）丈夫和妻子对婚姻质量的看法因工作而异和退休夫妇。回归模型和多变量分析方差将用于控制因素（例如健康状况、存在儿童）这可能会混淆工人与退休人员的比较。退休人员中夫妻退休对婚姻影响的回顾性评估将按性别和退休情况进行比较列联表分析。此外，来自开放式的叙述数据将审查问题以定性地描述婚姻的性质退休丈夫和妻子表达的欣慰和抱怨。准确了解退休可能产生的后果将有助于给未来退休人员及其配偶带来实际好处，关注老年夫妇生活方式的从业者和规划者。
