DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed research is to examine how marital satisfaction is linked to partners' wellbeing. While it has been well established that marital satisfaction is strongly linked to partners' mental health, the underlying pathways are not well understood. The proposed study will attempt to delineate the pathways involved by using longitudinal and behavioral genetic techniques. This research will examine how: change in spouses' wellbeing influences change in partners' marital satisfaction and wellbeing over time (Specific Aim 1); assortative mating for wellbeing accounts for partners' marital satisfaction (Specific Aim 2); and parental warmth in childhood accounts for the association between marital satisfaction and wellbeing in adulthood (Specific Aim 3). To achieve the stated research goals, the proposed study is motivated by the following three training aims: to develop and apply theoretical and didactic skills in lifespan development (Training Aim 1); to learn and apply skills in longitudinal data analytic techniques (Training Aim 2); and to learn and apply skills in assortative mating modeling techniques (Training Aim 3). The proposed research will use existing data from two complimentary samples: the Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development (NEAD; R01MH43373, R01MH48825, and R01MH59014) project: a longitudinal sample of spouses in middle and older adulthood and the Twin and Offspring Study in Sweden (TOSS; R01MH54601): a cross-sectional sample of middle adult same-sex pairs of twins and their spouses or partners. In line with Strategic Direction A-1 of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), findings will help to identify multiple pathways through which positive social interactions are linked to wellbeing, thus helping to identify intervention targets to improve adults' mental health and quality of life (2008). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The aim of this project is to examine pathways through which marital satisfaction is linked to partners' wellbeing using longitudinal and behavioral genetic techniques, with the aim of helping to identify targets of intervention to improve adults' wellbeing and quality of life.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的目标是研究婚姻满意度与伴侣幸福感之间的关系。尽管众所周知，婚姻满意度与伴侣的心理健康密切相关，但其潜在途径尚不清楚。拟议的研究将尝试使用纵向和行为遗传技术来描绘所涉及的途径。这项研究将探讨： 配偶幸福感的变化如何影响伴侣婚姻满意度和幸福感随时间的变化（具体目标 1）；为了幸福而进行的选型交配决定了伴侣的婚姻满意度（具体目标 2）；童年时父母的温暖是婚姻满意度与成年后幸福感之间的关联（具体目标 3）。为了实现既定的研究目标，拟议的研究受到以下三个培训目标的推动：发展和应用终身发展中的理论和教学技能（培训目标1）；学习和应用纵向数据分析技术的技能（培训目标 2）；学习和应用选型交配建模技术的技能（培训目标 3）。拟议的研究将使用来自两个补充样本的现有数据：青少年发展中的非共享环境（NEAD；R01MH43373、R01MH48825 和 R01MH59014）项目：中老年配偶的纵向样本以及瑞典的双胞胎和后代研究（TOSS；R01MH54601）： 中年同性双胞胎及其配偶或伴侣的横截面样本。根据国家老龄化研究所 (NIA) 的战略方向 A-1，研究结果将有助于确定积极的社会互动与福祉相关的多种途径，从而有助于确定改善成年人心理健康和生活质量的干预目标 (2008)。 公共卫生相关性：该项目的目的是利用纵向和行为遗传技术来研究婚姻满意度与伴侣福祉之间的联系途径，旨在帮助确定干预目标，以改善成年人的福祉和生活质量。
