Research shows that, for different sex couples, individual levels of substance use are deleterious for relationship quality (e.g., satisfaction, intimate partner aggression), whereas dyadic concordance is usually protective. However, there has been no research on these effects among male couples, even though they show increased risk for substance use and certain indices of relationship distress (e.g., intimate partner aggression) compared to different sex couples. Male partners also display distinct similarity patterns and norms surrounding substance use, suggesting that there might be unique effects of substance use on relationship quality among this population. We conducted actor-partner interdependence models of substance use on relationship quality (intimate partner aggression, satisfaction) among a large sample of male dyads (N = 934 individuals, N = 467 dyads). Results suggested that there are novel actor, partner, and similarity effects that imply unique pathways to relationship well-being for male couples. These results are discussed in light of future clinical and empirical efforts. [NCT03186534 - 6/12/2017; NCT03284541 - 6/23/2017].
研究表明，对于不同性别伴侣而言，个体的物质使用水平对关系质量（如满意度、亲密伴侣暴力）有害，而对偶一致性通常具有保护作用。然而，对于男性伴侣，尚未有研究涉及这些影响，尽管与不同性别伴侣相比，他们表现出更高的物质使用风险以及某些关系困扰指数（如亲密伴侣暴力）。男性伴侣在物质使用方面也表现出独特的相似模式和规范，这表明在这一人群中，物质使用对关系质量可能存在独特的影响。我们对一个大型男性伴侣样本（N=934 人，N=467 对伴侣）进行了物质使用对关系质量（亲密伴侣暴力、满意度）的演员-伙伴相互依存模型分析。结果表明，存在新颖的演员、伙伴和相似性效应，这意味着男性伴侣关系幸福有独特的途径。这些结果在未来的临床和实证研究中进行了讨论。[NCT03186534-6/12/2017；NCT03284541-6/23/2017]。
