Relationship dynamics could be shaped by schemas, and relationship satisfaction could be depend on how couples perceive each other through these schemas. The main aim of this study was to assess how early maladaptive schemas are related to relationship satisfaction for both males and females in a relationship, by highlighting factors that contribute to relationship satisfaction, with a particular focus on the interaction of schemas between males and females.
The study involved a total of healthy 47 different-gender couples. Participants completed the Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationship (PAIR) and Young's Schema questionnaires. Actor-partner interdependence models (APIM) were created to assess which factors contributed to satisfaction.
Our study identifies sex differences in early maladaptive schemas, revealing complex interactions within romantic relationships. Strong associations were observed between both sexes' maladaptive schemas, suggesting mutual influence. The emotional deprivation schema is associated with reduced satisfaction for both partners. For females, the abandonment schema is linked to decreased both their own and their partner's satisfaction, while the mistrust/abuse schema is related to lower satisfaction in the male partner. Social isolation and defectiveness/shame schemas are associated with lower female satisfaction but do not appear to affect their partners, whereas male satisfaction is reduced by vulnerability to harm. Schemas such as failure to achieve, dependence/incompetence and enmeshment show little association with relationship satisfaction. Approval-seeking schema is linked to reduced female satisfaction, and negativity/pessimism is associated with reduced male satisfaction.
Our research provides a nuanced insight into the interactions between partners' schemas, thus improving the understanding of how maladaptive schemas may contribute to relationship outcomes.
关系动态可能由图式塑造，关系满意度可能取决于伴侣如何通过这些图式看待彼此。本研究的主要目的是通过突出有助于关系满意度的因素，特别是关注男女之间图式的相互作用，来评估早期适应不良图式与恋爱关系中男女双方关系满意度的关联。
该研究共纳入47对不同性别的健康情侣。参与者完成了《关系亲密性个人评估》（PAIR）和杨式图式问卷。构建了行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型（APIM）来评估哪些因素有助于关系满意度。
我们的研究发现了早期适应不良图式中的性别差异，揭示了浪漫关系中的复杂相互作用。观察到男女双方的适应不良图式之间存在强烈关联，表明相互影响。情感剥夺图式与双方满意度降低相关。对于女性来说，抛弃图式与自身及伴侣的满意度降低有关，而不信任/虐待图式与男性伴侣的较低满意度相关。社会孤立和缺陷/羞耻图式与女性较低的满意度相关，但似乎不影响其伴侣，而男性的满意度则因易受伤害而降低。诸如成就未达成、依赖/无能和纠缠等图式与关系满意度几乎没有关联。寻求认可图式与女性满意度降低有关，消极/悲观与男性满意度降低有关。
我们的研究为伴侣图式之间的相互作用提供了细致入微的见解，从而增进了对适应不良图式如何影响关系结果的理解。
