The present study examined trajectories of marital satisfaction among couples with adolescent children and evaluated how changes in parents' conflict over raising adolescent children were associated with changes in marital satisfaction over four years. Using a prospective, longitudinal research design and controlling for family socioeconomic status, dyadic growth curve analysis from a sample of 431 couples with adolescent children indicated that marital satisfaction decreased over time for parents with adolescent children, and that the trajectories for mothers and fathers were substantially linked. More importantly, the study demonstrated that increases or decreases in parents' marital conflict over raising adolescent children were associated with corresponding decreases or increases in marital satisfaction for both mothers and fathers.
本研究考察了有青春期子女的夫妻的婚姻满意度轨迹，并评估了父母在养育青春期子女方面冲突的变化如何与四年间婚姻满意度的变化相关联。采用前瞻性纵向研究设计，并控制家庭社会经济地位，对431对有青春期子女的夫妻样本进行二元增长曲线分析，结果表明，有青春期子女的父母的婚姻满意度随时间下降，且母亲和父亲的轨迹密切相关。更重要的是，该研究表明，父母在养育青春期子女方面婚姻冲突的增加或减少，与母亲和父亲婚姻满意度的相应降低或增加相关。
