The association between depression and relationship distress as well as the impact of treatment for the one on the other was examined across 2 treatment-seeking samples: individuals seeking treatment for depression (N = 120) and couples seeking marital therapy (N = 134 couples). Although there was a baseline association between depression and distress across the 2 samples, relationship distress was far more prevalent among those being treated for depression than was depression for those seeking marital therapy. There was a reliable association between changes in the primary problem (e.g., relationship distress in the couple therapy study) and changes in the secondary problem (e.g., depression in the couple therapy study). However, overall effects on secondary problems were quite small. Neuroticism played a complex, moderating role across the 2 samples, strengthening and weakening the association between depression and relationship distress depending on the sample and gender, replicating previous findings.
在两个寻求治疗的样本中，检查了抑郁与关系困扰之间的关联，以及治疗对彼此的影响：寻求抑郁治疗的个体（N=120）和寻求婚姻治疗的夫妇（N=134 对夫妇）。尽管在两个样本中，抑郁和困扰之间存在基线关联，但在寻求抑郁治疗的个体中，关系困扰比寻求婚姻治疗的个体中抑郁更为普遍。在主要问题（例如，夫妻治疗研究中的关系困扰）的变化与次要问题（例如，夫妻治疗研究中的抑郁）的变化之间存在可靠的关联。然而，对次要问题的总体影响很小。神经质在两个样本中起着复杂的调节作用，根据样本和性别，加强或削弱抑郁与关系困扰之间的关联，复制了先前的发现。
