We examined the association between hostility and longitudinal changes in marital quality in a sample of 53 newlywed couples who were in their first marriages and were without children. Spouses' reports of marital quality were assessed initially at an average of 5 months into marriage and, thereafter, at three follow-up points approximately 1, 2, and 3 years subsequent to the date of marriage. Individual growth models were computed to assess the rate of change of marital quality. Hostility among husbands was significantly associated with linear decreases in their own, and their wives', reports of marital quality, even after controlling for the passage of time and the correlated variable of neuroticism. Results are consistent with the psychosocial vulnerability model of hostility and illness (Smith, Health Psychol. 11: 139-150, 1992), which posits that associations between hostility and heightened risk for morbidity and mortality are partially mediated by poor-quality relationships that develop as a consequence of the abrasive interpersonal properties of hostility.
我们对53对初婚且无子女的新婚夫妇样本进行了研究，考察敌意与婚姻质量纵向变化之间的关联。婚姻质量的配偶报告最初在平均婚后5个月时进行评估，此后在结婚日期后的大约1年、2年和3年这三个随访时间点进行评估。计算个体增长模型以评估婚姻质量的变化率。即使在控制了时间推移和神经质这一相关变量之后，丈夫的敌意仍与他们自己以及妻子对婚姻质量的报告呈线性下降显著相关。研究结果与敌意和疾病的社会心理易感性模型（史密斯，《健康心理学》11: 139 - 150，1992年）一致，该模型假定敌意与发病和死亡风险增加之间的关联部分是由因敌意的 abrasive 人际特性而发展出的低质量关系所介导的。
