Sixty Israeli women were administered Rotter's (1966) Locus of Control Scale and Zung's (1965) Self-Rating Depression Scale 1 to 2 months prior to their marriages. Six to 8 weeks after they were married, they responded to Spanier's (1976) Dyadic Adjustment Scale and again to the Zung scale. There was a low but significant correlation between externality and depression following marriage. Mean depression scores for the total sample, and for women with internal, medium, and external locus of control (LOC) were significantly lower after marriage. Women with external LOC manifested significantly more change in depression scores before and after marriage and also rated themselves significantly less satisfied with their marriages. Depression prior to marriage was predictive of later marital dissatisfaction, and depression following marriage was highly correlated with concurrent dissatisfaction.
六十名以色列女性在婚前1至2个月接受了罗特（1966年）的控制点量表和zung（1965年）的自评抑郁量表测试。婚后6至8周，她们对斯帕尼尔（1976年）的二元适应量表做出反应，并再次接受zung量表测试。婚后，外部性与抑郁之间存在低但显著的相关性。总样本以及具有内控、中控和外控（LOC）的女性的平均抑郁得分在婚后显著降低。具有外控LOC的女性在婚前和婚后的抑郁得分变化显著更大，并且对自己婚姻的满意度评价也显著更低。婚前抑郁可预测后来的婚姻不满，婚后抑郁与同时期的不满高度相关。
