We report surprising findings from a pilot study aimed at assessing the psychological price paid by female medical students who are also involved in serious romantic relationships. Sixty female medical students were assessed as to their depressive symptoms, level of self-criticism, sexual satisfaction, role commitment, and perceived rewards derived from their professional, marital, and domestic roles. The high levels of depressive symptoms found among participants in this study were the sole predictor of low sexual satisfaction. Professional role reward was positively associated with depressive symptoms. Consistent with the notion of multiple roles conflict among self-critical students, role commitment and reward in the professional and domestic domains interacted to predict depressive symptoms. Results suggest that female medical students involved in romantic relationships pay a high emotional price for their conflicting role demands.
我们报告了一项旨在评估同时参与认真恋爱关系的女医学生所付出的心理代价的试点研究的惊人发现。对 60 名女医学生进行了抑郁症状、自我批评程度、性满意度、角色承诺以及从专业、婚姻和家庭角色中获得的感知回报的评估。研究参与者中发现的高水平抑郁症状是性满意度低的唯一预测因素。专业角色回报与抑郁症状呈正相关。与自我批评的学生中存在多种角色冲突的观点一致，专业和家庭领域的角色承诺和回报相互作用预测抑郁症状。研究结果表明，参与恋爱关系的女医学生因角色需求冲突而付出了高昂的情感代价。
