Longitudinal changes in couple similarity on the Primary Mental Abilities and the Test of Behavioral Rigidity were studied over 7-year intervals from 1956 to 1984 in 169 couples from the Seattle Longitudinal Study. Positive, initial intraclass spousal correlations were significant for verbal meaning, inductive reasoning, word fluency, educational aptitude, intellectual aptitude, attitudinal flexibility, psychomotor speed, and social responsibility, as well as age and education. After age and education had been controlled, significant increases in spousal similarity were found for verbal meaning and intellectual ability over 14 years and for attitudinal flexibility over 21 years. The higher functioning spouses' word fluency influenced the lower functioning spouses' verbal meaning and word fluency over time. Couples who became more similar over time involved husbands in higher occupations and wives with fewer changes in profession.
在西雅图纵向研究的169对夫妇中，从1956年到1984年，每隔7年研究一次夫妇在基本心理能力和行为僵化测试上的纵向变化。言语意义、归纳推理、词汇流畅性、教育能力倾向、智力能力倾向、态度灵活性、心理运动速度和社会责任以及年龄和教育程度方面，配偶间初始的组内相关呈显著正相关。在控制了年龄和教育程度后，发现言语意义和智力能力在14年中配偶相似性显著增加，态度灵活性在21年中显著增加。随着时间的推移，功能较高的配偶的词汇流畅性影响了功能较低的配偶的言语意义和词汇流畅性。随着时间的推移变得更加相似的夫妇中，丈夫从事较高职业，妻子职业变化较少。
