Recent work on social support in marriage indicates that the link between marital satisfaction and social support is stronger for wives than husbands (D. Julien & H. J. Markman, 1991). Hypotheses based on these findings and on studies of interpersonal perception were tested on a sample of 69 older married couples (mean age = 74 years). The separate effects of giving, receiving, and reciprocity on spouses' marital satisfaction and well-being were examined. Analyzing the data separately for husbands and wives reveals that perceptions of social support in marriage are more strongly related to the marital satisfaction and general well-being of wives than husbands. Methodological and theoretical interpretations are offered that shed light on the differences between men and women in the meaning of social support in marriage.
近期关于婚姻中社会支持的研究表明，婚姻满意度与社会支持之间的联系对妻子而言比丈夫更为紧密（D. 朱利安 & H. J. 马克曼，1991）。基于这些研究结果以及人际感知研究提出的假设，在69对老年已婚夫妇（平均年龄 = 74岁）的样本上进行了检验。研究考察了给予、接受和互惠对配偶婚姻满意度和幸福感的单独影响。分别对丈夫和妻子的数据进行分析后发现，婚姻中社会支持的感知与妻子的婚姻满意度和总体幸福感的关联比丈夫更强。文中提供了方法学和理论方面的解释，以阐明婚姻中社会支持的意义在男女之间的差异。
