Although the husband's reactions to and feelings about his wife's pregnancy are frequently overlooked, his wife is always concerned about his perception of her. She often feels unattractive and is most interested in how satisfied her husband is with her pregnant body. The present study attempts to determine whether the husband or wife viewed the wife's body more positively, whether the husbands and wives could accurately predict each other's satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the pregnant body, and whether husbands' and wives' attitudes about important perinatal issues differed significantly. The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance, comparing the husbands' and wives' satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the pregnant body. The body cathexis scale was used to measure such satisfaction and Osgood's semantic differential measured attitudes toward "pregnancy", "spouse", "unborn baby", and "labor and delivery". Findings show that husbands were more satisfied with their wives' pregnant bodies than the wives themselves were. The wives were not able to predict their husbands' levels of satisfaction, although the men accurately predicted their wives' responses. Husbands also tended to hold more positive attitudes toward perinatal issues.
尽管丈夫对妻子怀孕的反应和感受常常被忽视，但妻子总是在意丈夫对自己的看法。她常常觉得自己缺乏吸引力，并且最关心丈夫对她怀孕后的身体有多满意。本研究试图确定丈夫还是妻子对妻子的身体看法更积极，夫妻双方能否准确预测对方对怀孕身体的满意或不满意程度，以及夫妻对重要围产期问题的态度是否存在显著差异。通过多变量方差分析对数据进行分析，比较丈夫和妻子对怀孕身体的满意或不满意程度。使用身体投入量表来衡量这种满意度，并用奥斯古德语义分化法测量对“怀孕”“配偶”“未出生婴儿”以及“分娩”的态度。研究结果表明，丈夫对妻子怀孕后的身体比妻子自己更满意。妻子无法预测丈夫的满意程度，尽管男性能够准确预测妻子的反应。丈夫对围产期问题也往往持有更积极的态度。
