This study examined the moderating roles of marital warmth and recent life events in the association between observed marital hostility and changes in spouses' depressive symptoms over 3 years. Using the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), structural equation models (N = 416 couples) suggested that husbands' marital hostility was significantly related to increases in wives' depressive symptoms. Moderator analyses showed that husbands' warmth and wives' warmth moderate the association between marital hostility and change in wives' depressive symptoms. The association between husbands' hostility and increases in wives' depressive symptoms was stronger under conditions of lower levels of husbands' warmth than under conditions of higher levels of husbands' warmth. This same pattern was found for wives' warmth. Regarding life events, the association between wives' hostility and increases in husbands' depressive symptoms was stronger for couples with more recent life events than for couples with fewer recent life events. Practical and empirical implications are discussed.
本研究考察了婚姻温暖度和近期生活事件在观察到的婚姻敌意与配偶抑郁症状三年变化之间的关联中所起的调节作用。使用actor-partner相互依赖模型(APIM),结构方程模型(N = 416对夫妻)表明,丈夫的婚姻敌意与妻子抑郁症状的增加显著相关。调节分析表明,丈夫的温暖度和妻子的温暖度调节了婚姻敌意与妻子抑郁症状变化之间的关联。在丈夫温暖度较低的情况下,丈夫的敌意与妻子抑郁症状增加之间的关联比在丈夫温暖度较高的情况下更强。妻子的温暖度也呈现相同的模式。关于生活事件,近期生活事件较多的夫妻中,妻子的敌意与丈夫抑郁症状增加之间的关联比近期生活事件较少的夫妻更强。文中讨论了实际和实证意义。
