During marital conflict, wives tend to demand and husbands tend to withdraw. These behaviors were historically thought to stem from essential differences between men and women. An alternative explanation implicates one form of power differences-wives desire more change and, therefore, demand; husbands desire less change and withdraw to maintain status quo. Studying same-sex as well as cross-sex couples enables an evaluation of both explanations. We examined demand-withdraw behaviors in 63 heterosexual, gay, and lesbian couples. The demand-withdraw pattern was seen regardless of type of couple. Further, for all couples, differences in the amount of change desired in partners during a conflict interaction predicted differences in demand and withdraw behaviors. These results offer further evidence that an often-observed difference in heterosexual relationships may result from social conventions that afford men greater power and women less power.
在婚姻冲突中，妻子往往要求更多，而丈夫往往退缩。这些行为历来被认为源于男女之间的本质差异。另一种解释涉及一种权力差异形式——妻子希望更多的改变，因此要求更多；丈夫希望更少的改变，退缩以维持现状。研究同性和异性伴侣可以同时评估这两种解释。我们研究了 63 对异性恋、同性恋和女同性恋伴侣的需求-退缩行为。无论伴侣类型如何，都可以看到需求-退缩模式。此外，对于所有伴侣来说，在冲突互动中伴侣希望的改变量的差异预测了需求和退缩行为的差异。这些结果进一步证明，在异性恋关系中经常观察到的差异可能是由于社会习俗赋予男性更多权力而赋予女性更少权力的结果。
