This study examines the short-term effectiveness of a relationship education program designed for military couples. Distressed couples were randomly placed in either a wait-list control group or an intervention group. We conducted training sessions before a 3-month foreign assignment, and refresher courses approximately 6-week post-assignment. We analyzed the dyadic data of 32 couples, using hierarchical linear modeling in a two-level model. Reduction in unresolved conflicts was found in the intervention group, with large pre-post effects for both partners. Relationship satisfaction scores were improved, with moderate-to-large effects only for soldiers, rather than their partners. Post-follow-up effect sizes suggested further improvement in the intervention group. Future research should examine the long-term effectiveness of this treatment.
本研究考察了一项为军人夫妇设计的关系教育项目的短期效果。处于困境的夫妇被随机分为候补对照组或干预组。我们在为期3个月的海外任务前进行了培训课程，并在任务结束约6周后进行了复习课程。我们使用两级模型中的分层线性模型分析了32对夫妇的二元数据。干预组未解决冲突有所减少，双方前后效果显著。关系满意度得分有所提高，仅军人一方有中等到较大的效果，而非其伴侣。随访后的效应量表明干预组有进一步改善。未来研究应考察这种治疗的长期效果。
