In a study designed to examine how intimate partners' coping processes with regard to infertility predicted depressive symptoms across the course of a treatment cycle, 43 couples completed assessments in the week prior to and the week after receiving a negative pregnancy result from an alternate insemination attempt by the partner. Depressive symptoms in both partners increased significantly after the pregnancy result receipt. As hypothesized, avoidant coping predicted increased distress over time. and approach-oriented coping (e.g., problem-focused coping, emotional processing, and expression) predicted decreased distress. Coping strategies engaged in by both individuals and partners predicted depressive symptoms, and for women, interactions also emerged between their own and their partners' coping.
在一项旨在研究亲密伴侣应对不孕问题的过程如何预测整个治疗周期中抑郁症状的研究中，43对夫妇在伴侣通过替代授精尝试得到阴性妊娠结果之前一周和之后一周完成了评估。在得知妊娠结果后，双方伴侣的抑郁症状均显著增加。正如所假设的那样，回避应对方式随着时间的推移会导致更多的痛苦，而以接近为导向的应对方式（如以问题为中心的应对、情绪处理和表达）则会导致痛苦减少。个体和伴侣所采用的应对策略都能预测抑郁症状，对于女性而言，她们自身的应对方式与伴侣的应对方式之间也存在相互作用。
