本研究使用1992年健康与退休研究的数据来检验老年人在婚姻力量和婚姻质量方面的性别差异，并评估在晚年生活中婚姻质量和婚姻力量的相关性是否存在性别差异。结果显示，平均而言，女性的婚姻幸福感、婚姻互动和婚姻权力都低于男性。即使在控制了一些生命过程中的事件和转变之后，这些差异仍然存在。此外，在就业、抚养子女、照料和健康因素与婚姻质量和权力的关系上，性别差异也很明显。
This study uses data from the 1992 Health and Retirement Study to examine gender differences in marital power and marital quality among older adults and to assess whether there are gender differences in the correlates of marital quality and marital power in later life. Results show that women report lower marital happiness, marital interaction, and marital power than do men, on average. These differences persist even after controlling for a number of life-course events and transitions. Further, results show that gender differences are also evident in the relationship of employment, childrearing, caregiving, and health factors with marital quality and power.
