Following a baseline sample of 184 married couples over 10 years, the present study develops a broadened conceptualization of linkages in spouses' functioning by examining similarity in coping as well as in depressive symptoms. Consistent with hypotheses, results demonstrated (a) similarity in depressive symptoms within couples across 10 years, (b) similarity in coping within couples over 10 years, and (c) the role of coping similarity in strengthening depressive similarity between spouses. Spousal similarity in coping was evident for a composite measure of percent approach coping as well as for component measures of approach and avoidance coping. The role of coping similarity in strengthening depressive symptom similarity was observed for percent approach coping and for avoidance coping. These findings support social contextual models of psychological adjustment that emphasize the importance of dynamic interdependencies between individuals in close relationships.
在对184对已婚夫妇进行了为期10年的基线样本研究之后，本研究通过考察应对方式以及抑郁症状的相似性，对配偶功能之间的联系进行了更广泛的概念化。与假设一致，结果表明：(a) 10年间夫妻双方抑郁症状的相似性；(b) 10年间夫妻双方应对方式的相似性；(c) 应对方式相似性在强化配偶间抑郁症状相似性方面的作用。对于积极应对百分比的综合测量以及积极应对和消极应对的分项测量，配偶间应对方式的相似性都很明显。在积极应对百分比和消极应对方面，都观察到了应对方式相似性在强化抑郁症状相似性方面的作用。这些发现支持了心理调适的社会情境模型，该模型强调亲密关系中个体间动态相互依存关系的重要性。
