This study examined (a) the associations between family hostility (husband-wife marital hostility and child hostility) and middle-aged husbands' and wives' depressive symptoms over an 11-year time period and (b) the moderating influence of couples' marital integration on these associations as measured by their joint activity. Higher order family-level latent constructs captured chronic husband-wife (marital) hostility using husbands' and wives' reports of chronic hostile interactions from 1990 to 1992, while a higher order latent construct of chronic child hostility toward parents was measured using parental reports of children's hostile behaviors from 1990 to 1992. Structural equation modeling with data from 370 families depicted the longitudinal impact of family hostility on depressive symptoms of both husbands and wives in 2001 after accounting for earlier levels of depressive symptoms in 1991. Separate models were fit for couples with high and low levels of marital integration. For couples who experienced low levels of marital integration, chronic marital hostility and child hostility were related to depressive symptoms in husbands and wives. However, for those with high marital integration, these influences were largely diminished. (PsycINFO Database Record
（a）在11年的时间跨度内，家庭敌意（夫妻婚姻敌意和子女敌意）与中年夫妻抑郁症状之间的关联；（b）夫妻婚姻融合度（通过他们的共同活动来衡量）对这些关联的调节作用。高阶家庭层面的潜在结构通过夫妻双方对1990年至1992年期间慢性敌意互动的报告来捕捉慢性夫妻（婚姻）敌意，而慢性子女对父母的敌意这一高阶潜在结构则通过父母对1990年至1992年期间子女敌意行为的报告来衡量。对来自370个家庭的数据进行结构方程建模，描绘了在考虑了1991年抑郁症状的早期水平之后，家庭敌意对2001年夫妻双方抑郁症状的纵向影响。针对婚姻融合度高和低的夫妻分别构建模型。对于婚姻融合度低的夫妻，慢性婚姻敌意和子女敌意与夫妻双方的抑郁症状有关。然而，对于婚姻融合度高的夫妻，这些影响在很大程度上减弱了。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》
