Spouses' masculinity and femininity were examined in relation to longitudinal change in marital satisfaction and behavior displayed in a problem-solving discussion. Results indicated, first, that wives' satisfaction declined to the extent that their husband endorsed fewer desirable masculine traits (Study 1) and more undesirable masculine traits (Study 2). Second, masculinity and femininity covaried with problem-solving behavior, particularly for behavioral sequences involving husbands' responses to wives' negative behavior. Finally, the relation between husbands' masculinity and change in wives' satisfaction was not mediated by husbands' behavior; instead, sex role and behavioral variables made independent contributions to change in wives' satisfaction. These results are important because they highlight the value of examining intraindividual and interpersonal variables when determining how marriages improve and deteriorate.
研究了配偶的男性气质和女性气质与婚姻满意度的纵向变化以及在解决问题讨论中表现出的行为之间的关系。结果表明，首先，妻子的满意度下降的程度与丈夫认可的理想男性特质较少（研究1）以及不理想的男性特质较多（研究2）有关。其次，男性气质和女性气质与解决问题的行为相关，特别是对于涉及丈夫对妻子负面行为的反应的行为序列。最后，丈夫的男性气质与妻子满意度变化之间的关系并非由丈夫的行为介导；相反，性别角色和行为变量对妻子满意度的变化有独立的影响。这些结果很重要，因为它们突出了在确定婚姻如何改善和恶化时检查个体内部和人际变量的价值。
