When people who are married or cohabiting face stressful life situations, their ability to cope may be associated with two separate dimensions of interpersonal behavior: positive and negative. These behaviors can be assessed with the Couple Resilience Inventory (CRI). It was expected that scales on this instrument would correlate with outcome variables regarding life well-being, stress, and relationship satisfaction. It was also expected that effects for negative behavior would be larger than effects for positive and that the effects might be curvilinear. Study 1 included 325 married or cohabiting people currently experiencing nonmedical major life stressors and Study 2 included 154 married or cohabiting people with current, serious medical conditions. All participants completed an online questionnaire including the CRI along with an alternate measure of couple behavior (to confirm scale validity), a measure of general coping style (to serve as a covariate), and measures of outcome variables regarding well-being, quality of life, perceived stress, and relationship satisfaction. The effects for negative behavior were larger than effects for positive in predicting most outcomes, and many effects were curvilinear. Notably, results remained significant after controlling for general coping style, and scales measuring positive and negative behavior demonstrated comparable levels of validity.

当已婚或同居的人面临压力大的生活情况时，他们的应对能力可能与人际行为的两个独立维度有关：积极和消极。这些行为可以用夫妻韧性量表（CRI）进行评估。人们期望该工具上的量表与关于生活幸福感、压力和关系满意度的结果变量相关。也期望消极行为的影响大于积极行为的影响，并且影响可能是曲线的。研究 1 包括 325 名目前正在经历非医疗重大生活压力源的已婚或同居者，研究 2 包括 154 名目前患有严重疾病的已婚或同居者。所有参与者都在线完成了一份问卷，包括 CRI 以及夫妻行为的替代测量（以确认量表的有效性）、一般应对方式的测量（作为协变量）以及关于幸福感、生活质量、感知压力和关系满意度的结果变量的测量。消极行为的影响大于积极行为的影响，预测大多数结果，许多影响都是曲线的。值得注意的是，在控制了一般应对方式后，结果仍然显著，并且测量积极和消极行为的量表表现出相当的有效性。（PsycINFO 数据库记录）
