This research was designed to identify anticipated and actual postpartum concerns about the marriage relationship during the period of transition to parenthood. It also investigated: (1) the accuracy of prediction of postpartum concerns by the prenatal group; (2) states of consensus within the marital dyad regarding the importance of postpartum concerns; and (3) the relationship between communication about the concerns and the relative importance of concerns. Twenty-two couples expecting their first child were randomly assigned to either the prenatal or postpartum interview groups. Husbands and wives individually rank-ordered 35 postpartum concerns from Most Important to Least Important and estimated how their spouses would rank the concerns. Husbands and wives also indicated the three concerns they discussed the most and the three they discussed the least. Couples tended to discuss most often those concerns they ranked most important. However, there were only moderate levels of agreement on the importance of concerns, discrepancies between perceived agreement and actual agreement, and low to moderate levels of accuracy in estimating the importance of concerns for spouses.
本研究旨在确定在向为人父母过渡期间对婚姻关系的预期和实际产后担忧。它还调查了：（1）产前组对产后担忧预测的准确性；（2）婚姻双方在产后担忧重要性方面的共识状态；以及（3）关于担忧的沟通与担忧的相对重要性之间的关系。22对期待第一个孩子的夫妇被随机分配到产前或产后访谈组。丈夫和妻子分别将35个产后担忧从最重要到最不重要进行排序，并估计他们的配偶会如何对这些担忧进行排序。丈夫和妻子还指出了他们讨论最多的三个担忧和讨论最少的三个担忧。夫妻倾向于最常讨论他们认为最重要的那些担忧。然而，在担忧的重要性方面只有中等程度的一致性，感知到的一致性与实际一致性之间存在差异，并且在估计配偶担忧的重要性方面准确性较低到中等。
