Relationship education programs such as Ehevorbereitung--Ein Partnerschaftliches Lernprogramm (Premarital Preparation--A Couples' Learning Program) and the Relationship Education and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) can help prevent marital distress among newlyweds. Thus, it is important to understand which couples respond best to the intervention and which couples respond less well. E. A. Schilling, D. H. Baucom, C. K. Burnett, E. A. Allen, and L. Ragland (2003) unexpectedly found that the more women increased positive communication in response to PREP, the more likely they were to become distressed in the subsequent 5 years. The current study explores similar issues, investigating a relationship education program in Germany. The current results indicate that couples are susceptible to future relationship distress if women demonstrate extreme increases in positive and decreases in negative communication after intervention. Implications are provided for adapting these relationship education programs in the future.
诸如“婚姻准备——伴侣学习计划”（Ehevorbereitung--Ein Partnerschaftliches Lernprogramm）和“关系教育与关系提升计划”（PREP）等关系教育项目有助于预防新婚夫妇的婚姻困扰。因此，了解哪些夫妇对干预反应最佳，哪些夫妇反应较差很重要。E. A. 席林、D. H. 鲍科姆、C. K. 伯内特、E. A. 艾伦和L. 拉格兰德（2003年）意外发现，女性因参加PREP而增加积极沟通的程度越高，在随后5年中她们陷入困扰的可能性就越大。本研究探讨类似问题，对德国的一个关系教育项目进行调查。目前的结果表明，如果女性在干预后积极沟通极端增加而消极沟通减少，那么夫妻未来容易出现关系困扰。本文为未来调整这些关系教育项目提供了启示。
