Investigated communication in happy and distressed married couples, in two studies. Fifty-eight couples' problem-solving behaviors were evaluated by the spouses themselves and by trained observers. Some distressed couples viewed their own videotape; others received a placebo intervention. Half of the distressed couples received written feedback before a second discussion. Results indicated that (a) distressed and happy couples differed on some behavioral measures; (b) both happy and distressed wives engaged in more negative behaviors than husbands; (c) videotape and written feedback were ineffective in altering behaviors; (d) husbands' and wives' negative behaviors were correlated highly; and (e) spouses' and observers' ratings were independent. Implications for research on marriage and for behavioral couple therapy are discussed.
在两项研究中,对幸福婚姻和苦恼婚姻中的夫妻沟通情况进行了调查。由配偶自身以及经过培训的观察员对58对夫妻的问题解决行为进行了评估。一些苦恼的夫妻观看了他们自己的录像带;另一些则接受了安慰剂干预。一半苦恼的夫妻在第二次讨论前收到了书面反馈。结果表明:(a)苦恼的夫妻和幸福的夫妻在一些行为指标上存在差异;(b)幸福的妻子和苦恼的妻子都比丈夫表现出更多的消极行为;(c)录像带和书面反馈在改变行为方面无效;(d)丈夫和妻子的消极行为高度相关;(e)配偶和观察员的评分是独立的。文中讨论了这些结果对婚姻研究和夫妻行为治疗的启示。
