Miscarriage occurs in roughly one in five pregnancies in the United States. Although it is largely considered a "women's issue," non-miscarrying spouses also endure the mental and relational health effects of the loss. Drawing on communicated narrative sense-making (CNSM) theory, we interviewed heterosexual, cisgender, mostly white, married men ( = 45) to solicit their stories of their spouse's miscarriage. Six types of memorable messages (i.e., messages that affect the values, behaviors and/or beliefs of the receiver) from social network members emerged - , and . These messages illuminate the importance of context in memorable message meaning-making; highlight the complexity of "message gaps" in narratively processing difficulty; and uncover ethical issues with attending to men's experiences with miscarriage. We explore how these findings inform memorable messages theorizing and research.
在美国，大约五分之一的怀孕会以流产告终。尽管流产在很大程度上被视为一个“女性问题”，但未经历流产的配偶同样也要承受这种损失对心理和人际关系健康所造成的影响。基于沟通性叙事意义建构（CNSM）理论，我们采访了45名异性恋、生理性别与心理性别一致、大多为白人的已婚男性，以探寻他们配偶流产的经历。社交网络成员传递的六种类型的难忘信息（即影响接收者价值观、行为和/或信念的信息）出现了—— 以及 。这些信息揭示了情境在难忘信息意义建构中的重要性；突出了叙事处理困难中“信息缺口”的复杂性；并揭示了关注男性流产经历所涉及的伦理问题。我们探讨了这些发现如何为难忘信息的理论化和研究提供参考。
