This research tests a model suggesting that marital distress leads individuals to scrutinize what is given and received in the relationship. This scrutiny elicits perceptions of unfairness that maintain or exacerbate marital distress. In a 3-panel longitudinal study tracking married couples across the transition to parenthood, both wives' and husbands' reports of marital conflict and wives' marital dissatisfaction at Time 1 positively predicted perceived unfairness of the allocation of household tasks at Time 2, controlling for earlier perceptions of unfairness. In addition, there was evidence of perceived unfairness of division of labor at Time 2 predicting marital conflict and marital dissatisfaction for wives at Time 3, controlling for earlier conflict and dissatisfaction. This model of relationship distress and perceptions of unfairness is contrasted with prior interpretations of links between perceived injustice and distress in relationships.
本研究检验了一个模型，该模型表明婚姻困扰会促使个体仔细审视在关系中付出与收获的东西。这种审视引发了不公平感，而这种不公平感会维持或加剧婚姻困扰。在一项三阶段纵向研究中，跟踪已婚夫妇从为人父母的过渡阶段，在控制了早期不公平感的情况下，妻子和丈夫在第一阶段对婚姻冲突的报告以及妻子在第一阶段的婚姻不满情绪，都正向预测了第二阶段对家务分配的不公平感。此外，有证据表明，在控制了早期冲突和不满情绪的情况下，第二阶段对劳动分工的不公平感预测了第三阶段妻子的婚姻冲突和婚姻不满。这种关系困扰与不公平感的模型与之前对关系中感知到的不公正与困扰之间联系的解释形成了对比。
