Past research has revealed positive effects of stress communication by oneself and by the partner on relationship satisfaction. However, the mechanisms through which stress communication by oneself and by the partner influence relationship satisfaction have not been well studied. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of one's own and the partner's stress communication on relationship satisfaction and the mediating roles of one's own and the partner's communication satisfaction in these associations. A total of 227 unmarried heterosexual couples were recruited. An actor-partner interdependence mediation model was used to examine the hypothesized relationships. The results showed that the actor effects of stress communication on relationship satisfaction were mediated by the actor effects of communication satisfaction. Moreover, the indirect effect of male stress communication on female relationship satisfaction through female communication satisfaction was found to be significant. These findings provide insights into the mechanism through which stress communication influences relationship satisfaction. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
过去的研究表明，自我和伴侣的压力沟通对关系满意度有积极影响。然而，自我和伴侣的压力沟通如何影响关系满意度的机制还没有得到很好的研究。本研究的目的是检验自我和伴侣的压力沟通对关系满意度的影响，以及自我和伴侣的沟通满意度在这些关联中的中介作用。共招募了 227 对未婚异性伴侣。采用演员-伙伴相互依存中介模型检验假设关系。结果表明，压力沟通对关系满意度的演员效应是由沟通满意度的演员效应介导的。此外，还发现男性压力沟通通过女性沟通满意度对女性关系满意度的间接效应是显著的。这些发现为压力沟通影响关系满意度的机制提供了深入的了解。讨论了理论和实践意义。
