Drawing on the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), the present study investigated the relationship between Chinese middle-aged and old couples' Confucian coping thinking and their marital quality in the hope to provide a theoretical basis for ameliorating marital quality.
With 744 middle-aged and old couples as participants, the Confucian Coping Questionnaire (CCQ) and the Quality of Marriage Index (QMI) were employed to probe the relationship between responsibility thinking (RT), pro-setback thinking (PT), fate thinking (FT), and marital quality.
Husbands' and wives' scores in responsibility thinking and pro-setback thinking had significantly positive correlations with their own and their spouses' scores in marital quality, respectively, and husbands' and wives' scores in fate thinking had significantly negative correlations with their own and their spouses' marital quality, respectively. Husbands' responsibility thinking, pro-setback thinking, and fate thinking had a significant actor effect. Husbands' responsibility thinking and fate thinking had a significant partner effect. Wives' responsibility thinking, pro-setback thinking, and fate thinking had a significant actor effect. Wives' responsibility thinking and pro-setback thinking had a significant partner effect.
From the perspective of dyadic relationships, the present study found that responsibility thinking and pro-setback thinking could positively predict marital quality, while pro-setback thinking could negatively predict marital quality.

采用儒家应对问卷（CCQ）和婚姻质量指数（QMI），对 744 对中年和老年夫妇进行了调查，探讨了责任思维（RT）、前设思维（PT）、命运思维（FT）与婚姻质量之间的关系。
丈夫和妻子的责任思维和前设思维得分与他们自己和配偶的婚姻质量得分呈显著正相关，而丈夫和妻子的命运思维得分与他们自己和配偶的婚姻质量得分呈显著负相关。丈夫的责任思维、前设思维和命运思维具有显著的演员效应。丈夫的责任思维和命运思维具有显著的伙伴效应。妻子的责任思维、前设思维和命运思维具有显著的演员效应。妻子的责任思维和前设思维具有显著的伙伴效应。
从夫妻关系的角度来看，本研究发现责任思维和前设思维可以正向预测婚姻质量，而前设思维可以负向预测婚姻质量。
