To examine our hypothesis that family experiences would be associated with attitudes toward marriage, we administered the Family Environment Scale (FES; Moos & Moos, 1986) and a Marriage Attitudes Questionnaire (MAQ; adapted from Long, 1987) to 40 unmarried college students. Correlational analyses indicated that for the conflict subscale of the FES, only two of the six marital expectation questions approached significance. However, family expressiveness (another subscale of the FES) was significantly correlated with three of the marital expectation questions and approached significance with a fourth question. These results indicated that higher expressiveness in the family was significantly related to positive attitudes toward marriage. We concluded that family dynamics need to be studied from multiple perspectives to identify factors that influence marital expectations.
为了检验我们的假设，即家庭经历会与对婚姻的态度相关联，我们对40名未婚大学生施测了家庭环境量表（FES；Moos和Moos，1986）以及婚姻态度问卷（MAQ；改编自Long，1987）。相关分析表明，对于家庭环境量表的冲突分量表，六个婚姻期望问题中只有两个接近显著水平。然而，家庭表达性（家庭环境量表的另一个分量表）与三个婚姻期望问题显著相关，并且与第四个问题接近显著相关。这些结果表明，家庭中更高的表达性与对婚姻的积极态度显著相关。我们得出结论，需要从多个角度研究家庭动态，以确定影响婚姻期望的因素。
