A Study on Reconstruction of the Marital Relationship and of Social Relationships in Late Middle-Aged Stage

2000年，一旦制定了婚姻关系重建的标准，并掌握了重建的情况，就明确了影响婚姻关系重建的主要因素。2001年，从2000年的研究中选取13人作为研究对象。通过调查访谈，了解了婚姻危机与结婚30至40年的配偶的历史的相关性，以及解决危机所利用的资源。2002年，个人网络和夫妻情感整合的本质及其与幸福感的相关性被揭示出来。2003年，对2001年调查的案件采用双ABC-X模型（McCubbin， H.L.）进行了分析，但由于判断信息不足，因此进行了后续的调查访谈。主要研究结果如下：(1)夫妻共同存在的影响夫妻关系重构的主要因素是“夫妻是否有共同的朋友”、“夫妻关系的性质”、“夫妻间的关系（婆媳关系）”和“配偶的个性化”。“配偶个体化”对重建有负向关系，其他因素对重建有正向关系。(2)夫妻共同的人际网络的范围和夫妻作为一个单位交往的人数被认为对夫妻的情感整合有积极的关系。此外，虽然网络的规模是影响丈夫幸福的一个主要因素，但在妻子的情况下没有发现这种关系。

In 2000, once a standard of reconstruction of the marital relationship was drawn up, along with gaining a grasp of the circumstances of reconstruction, the primary factors influencing it were made clear. In 2001, 13 persons from the 2000 study were chosen as subjects. Through investigative interviews, an understanding was gained of the relevance of marital crises in the histories of spouses who had been married for thirty to forty years, as well as what kind of resources were drawn on for crisis resolution. In 2002, the nature of personal networks and the emotional integration of couples and their relevance to well-being were revealed. In 2003, the cases investigated in 2001 were analyzed by applying the double ABC-X model (McCubbin, H.L.), but since it was judged that the information was insufficient, follow-up investigative interviews were carried out.The major findings are as follows.(1)Common to husband and wife, the primary factors influencing the reconstruction of the marital relationship were "whether or not the couple have friends in common," "the nature of connubial relations," "the relationship between the husband's mother and the wife (mother-in-law daughter-in-law relationship)," and "individualization of the spouses." "The individualization of the spouses" has a negative relationship to the reconstruction, while the other factors have a positive relationship.(2)Common to husband and wife, the scope of the personal network and the number of those with whom the couple associates as a unit are recognized as having a positive relationship to the couple's emotional integration. Furthermore, while the size of the network is a major factor affecting the wellbeing of husbands, no such relationship is recognized in the case of wives.
