This study examined links between emotion expression in couple interactions and marital quality and stability. Core aspects of emotion expression in marital interactions were identified with the use of naive observational coding by multiple raters. Judges rated 47 marital discussions with 15 emotion descriptors. Coders' pooled ratings yielded good reliability on 4 types of emotion expression: hostility, distress, empathy, and affection. These 4 types were linked with concurrent marital satisfaction and interviewer ratings of marital adjustment as well as with marital stability at a 5-year follow-up. The study also examined the extent to which naive judges' ratings of emotion expression correspond to "expert" ratings using the Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF). The unique advantages of naive coding of emotion expression in marital interaction are discussed.
本研究探讨了夫妻互动中的情绪表达与婚姻质量及稳定性之间的联系。通过多位评估者采用朴素观察编码法,确定了婚姻互动中情绪表达的核心方面。评判者用15种情绪描述词对47次婚姻讨论进行了评分。编码者的综合评分在4种情绪表达类型上具有良好的信度:敌意、痛苦、同理心和爱意。这4种类型与同时期的婚姻满意度、访谈者对婚姻调适的评分以及5年随访时的婚姻稳定性相关。该研究还考察了朴素评判者对情绪表达的评分与使用特定情感编码系统(SPAFF)的“专家”评分的对应程度。文中讨论了婚姻互动中情绪表达朴素编码的独特优势。
