This study examined conflict-resolution interactions of couples, and related marital satisfaction to sequential and nonsequential communication patterns. Couples' satisfaction with marriage has been differentiated on the basis of the degree of coercive versus affiliative communication between partners. Results of this study indicate that this pattern differs, however, for individuals within couples on the basis of gender. Females and males were found to demonstrate different styles of response to dissatisfaction in marriage; men assume a coercive stance toward their partners while women take an affiliative position. Drawing on systemic and gender-difference theoretical perspectives, these patterns are interpreted as attempts by individuals with different world views to resolve conflict. A view is discussed whereby systems and gender differences can be integrated into a unified conceptual formulation upon which to base future development in research and therapeutic interventions.
本研究考察了夫妻间的冲突解决互动，并将婚姻满意度与顺序性和非顺序性沟通模式联系起来。夫妻对婚姻的满意度已根据伴侣之间强制与亲和沟通的程度进行了区分。然而，本研究结果表明，这种模式在夫妻中的个体之间因性别而异。研究发现，女性和男性对婚姻不满表现出不同的反应方式；男性对伴侣采取强制立场，而女性则采取亲和立场。借鉴系统和性别差异理论观点，这些模式被解释为具有不同世界观的个体解决冲突的尝试。文中讨论了一种观点，即可以将系统和性别差异整合到一个统一的概念框架中，为未来研究和治疗干预的发展提供基础。
