Although stressful events and poor mental health predict worse intimate relationships in all segments of society, they may be especially detrimental for poorer couples who lack the financial resources that facilitate successful coping. To examine this hypothesis, associations among stress, mental health, and relationship satisfaction were examined in the Florida Family Formation study, a stratified random sample of more than 2000 Florida residents that included oversamples of low-income participants. As predicted, stressful life events and mental health problems accounted for more variance in relationship satisfaction among poorer than among more affluent individuals. These results suggest that models of relationship satisfaction addressing low-income populations may need to emphasize contextual and individual variables more than models developed in more affluent populations.
尽管压力事件和心理健康状况不佳会预测社会各阶层的亲密关系恶化，但对于那些缺乏促进成功应对的财务资源的贫困夫妇来说，它们可能尤其不利。为了检验这一假设，在佛罗里达家庭形成研究中，对压力、心理健康和关系满意度之间的关联进行了研究，该研究是对佛罗里达州 2000 多名居民的分层随机抽样，其中包括低收入参与者的超额样本。正如预测的那样，在贫困个体中，生活压力事件和心理健康问题对关系满意度的影响比在富裕个体中更大。这些结果表明，解决低收入人群关系满意度的模型可能需要比在富裕人群中开发的模型更强调背景和个体变量。
