In the past decade, the concept of dyadic coping as a buffer against stress in romantic relationships has received much attention in Western countries, but it has rarely been studied in non-Western countries and among parents with school-aged children. The aim of the present study was to investigate the moderating effect of dyadic coping on the link between financial strain and marital satisfaction, as well as the mediating effect of marital satisfaction on the relationship between financial strain and quality of life. There were 751 heterosexual couples whose eldest child aged 7-12 years in West Java, Indonesia (mean age husband = 37.53 SD = 5.09; mean age wife = 34.42 SD = 4.85) fulfilled the paper and pencil questionnaires in the study. The moderated mediated model illustrated that (1) greater levels of dyadic coping weakened the negative association between financial strain and marital satisfaction for husbands and for wives (2) for both husbands and wives, there were no mediation effect (3) for both husbands and wives, financial strain was negatively associated with quality of life; and marital satisfaction was positively associated with quality of life. We discuss both the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.
在过去十年中，二元应对作为浪漫关系中压力缓冲因素的概念在西方国家备受关注，但在非西方国家以及有学龄儿童的父母中却鲜有研究。本研究旨在探讨二元应对在经济压力与婚姻满意度之间关系中的调节作用，以及婚姻满意度在经济压力与生活质量关系中的中介作用。在印度尼西亚西爪哇，有751对异性恋夫妇参与了本研究，他们的最大孩子年龄在7至12岁之间（丈夫平均年龄 = 37.53，标准差 = 5.09；妻子平均年龄 = 34.42，标准差 = 4.85），通过纸笔问卷完成了调查。调节中介模型表明：（1）更高水平的二元应对减弱了丈夫和妻子经济压力与婚姻满意度之间的负相关关系；（2）对丈夫和妻子而言，均不存在中介效应；（3）对丈夫和妻子而言，经济压力与生活质量呈负相关；婚姻满意度与生活质量呈正相关。我们讨论了这些研究结果的理论和实践意义。
