使用194对中年夫妇的访谈数据，我们：(i)根据配偶的性别类型属性确定了夫妻群体的类型；（ii）从个体、语境和态度特征方面描述夫妻群体；（三）将夫妻群体与三年婚姻的情感、认知和行为品质联系起来。通过聚类分析，确定并复制了配偶工具性和表达性属性不同的四种夫妻类型。性别类型的妻子/极端性别类型的丈夫夫妇在三年中报告的婚姻质量水平明显较低。该研究强调了二元方法的重要性，根据配偶的性别属性确定了普通夫妻的配置，确定了婚姻质量较低的夫妇，并提供了对可能在婚姻中起到保护作用的个人社会属性的见解。
Using data from interviews with 194 midlife couples, we: (i) identified a typology of couple groups based on spouses' gender-typed attributes; (ii) described couple groups in terms of individual, contextual, and attitudinal characteristics; and (iii) linked couple groups with emotional, cognitive, and behavioral qualities of marriage across 3 years. Four couple types that differed in spouses' instrumental and expressive attributes were identified and replicated via cluster analysis. Gender-typed wives/extreme gender-typed-husband couples reported significantly lower levels of marital quality across the 3 years. Underscoring the importance of a dyadic approach, the research identifies common couple configurations based on spouses' gender-typed attributes, identifies couples with lower marital quality, and offers insights into personal-social attributes that may be protective in marriage.
