The authors used a vulnerability-stress-adaptation framework to examine personality traits and chronic stress as predictors of the developmental course of physical aggression in the early years of marriage. Additionally, personality traits and physical aggression were examined as predictors of the developmental course of chronic stress. Data from 103 couples collected 4 times over the first 3 years of marriage were analyzed with an actor-partner interdependence model and structural equation modeling techniques. Personality traits of husbands predicted their own physical aggression and stress trajectories, as well as their wives' levels of stress and physical aggression. Personality traits of wives predicted their levels of stress and physical aggression and predicted changes in their physical aggression over time. Both husbands' and wives' changes in stress predicted changes in physical aggression over time. Implications for employment of a vulnerability-stress-adaptation model in the study of physical aggression and for improvement of the efficacy of therapies targeting physical aggression in intimate relationships are delineated.
作者运用了一个脆弱性-压力-适应框架，来检验人格特质和慢性压力作为婚姻早期身体攻击行为发展过程预测因素的情况。此外，还检验了人格特质和身体攻击行为作为慢性压力发展过程预测因素的情况。对103对夫妻在婚后头3年里进行4次收集的数据，采用了行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型和结构方程建模技术进行分析。丈夫的人格特质预测了他们自身的身体攻击行为和压力轨迹，以及他们妻子的压力水平和身体攻击行为。妻子的人格特质预测了她们的压力水平和身体攻击行为，并预测了她们身体攻击行为随时间的变化。丈夫和妻子的压力变化都预测了身体攻击行为随时间的变化。阐述了在身体攻击行为研究中运用脆弱性-压力-适应模型的意义，以及提高针对亲密关系中身体攻击行为的治疗效果的意义。
