This study concerns 250 marriages of 40-49 year-old women from a psychiatric patient and general population series. Psychiatric patients' marriages involved less exchange of affection, were husband-dominated, and were of poor quality. In general population marriages, poor quality was related to wife domination. Affection given (AG) and affection received (AR) scores were significantly associated, being high in good marriages and low in bad ones. Zero or near-zero domination was associated with high AG and AR scores and with good quality marriages. Husband domination was linked with wives having high (MMPI) dependency scores. Terminated marriages, compared with bad but non-terminated marriages, had significantly lower AR scores.
本研究涉及来自精神病患者群体和普通人群的250对40至49岁女性的婚姻。精神病患者的婚姻中情感交流较少，以丈夫主导，质量较差。在普通人群的婚姻中，质量差与妻子主导有关。给予的情感（AG）得分和接受的情感（AR）得分显著相关，在良好婚姻中得分高，在不良婚姻中得分低。零或接近零的主导与高AG和AR得分以及高质量婚姻相关。丈夫主导与妻子具有高（明尼苏达多相人格调查表）依赖得分有关。与不良但未终止的婚姻相比，终止的婚姻AR得分显著更低。
