While much of the Couple Relationship Education (CRE) research has focused on participant factors, unexpectedly little research has considered how characteristics of those providing the programming shape its efficacy. The current study draws upon a diverse sample of 225 couples who received CRE from community educators to examine how facilitation alliance is related to relationship outcomes for men and women and whether having a facilitator with similar demographic characteristics is related to the alliance. Results suggest that the facilitation alliance is related to some-though not all-postprogram outcomes and these effects were uniform across gender and relationship status (married vs. unmarried). Having a facilitator of the same gender was associated with a stronger alliance. Implications are discussed.
虽然夫妻关系教育（CRE）的大部分研究都集中在参与者因素上，但出乎意料的是，很少有研究考虑提供该课程的人员的特征如何影响其效果。本研究对225对从社区教育工作者那里接受夫妻关系教育的夫妻进行了多样化抽样，以检验促进联盟与男性和女性的关系结果之间的关联，以及 facilitator（促进者）具有相似人口统计学特征是否与联盟有关。结果表明，促进联盟与部分（而非全部）课程后的结果相关，并且这些影响在性别和关系状态（已婚与未婚）方面是一致的。拥有同性别的促进者与更强的联盟相关。文中对研究结果的意义进行了讨论。 注：原文中facilitator在没有更多背景信息下较难精准翻译，这里暂保留英文。
