The present study was aimed at examining the role of explicit stress communication in the context of dyadic coping. The general aim of the present study was to test (a) whether explicit communication of daily stressful events predicted relationship satisfaction and (b) whether the perception of responsiveness in dyadic coping mediated the association between explicit stress communication and partners' satisfaction. We analyzed daily diary data from 55 married couples and multilevel analyses suggested that, although explicit stress communication was not associated with relationship satisfaction, it predicted both partners' responsiveness in dyadic coping behaviors. Finally, responsive dyadic coping behaviors mediated the relationship between explicit stress communication and relationship satisfaction. On the whole, our findings showed that perceived responsiveness in dyadic coping with daily stressors was facilitated by explicit stress communication and that this contributed to the effectiveness of dyadic coping behaviors in fostering partners' relationship satisfaction. We discussed how the current study contributes to the understanding of the dyadic coping process and its contribution to partners' satisfaction, underscoring the importance of communication skills.
本研究旨在考察在二元应对情境中明确的压力沟通所起的作用。本研究的总体目标是检验：（a）日常压力事件的明确沟通是否能预测关系满意度；（b）二元应对中反应性的感知是否介导了明确的压力沟通与伴侣满意度之间的关联。我们分析了55对已婚夫妇的每日日记数据，多层次分析表明，虽然明确的压力沟通与关系满意度无关，但它能预测双方在二元应对行为中的反应性。最后，反应性的二元应对行为介导了明确的压力沟通与关系满意度之间的关系。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，明确的压力沟通促进了在应对日常压力源时二元应对中反应性的感知，这有助于二元应对行为在提升伴侣关系满意度方面的有效性。我们讨论了当前研究如何有助于理解二元应对过程及其对伴侣满意度的贡献，强调了沟通技巧的重要性。
