Differences in distress within couples who have experienced the sudden death of a child were examined. Results from two independent samples (N = 50 couples and N = 60 couples) were compared. The SCL-90-R and the BSI were used to measure global psychological distress and distress in nine symptom dimensions. Paired t tests revealed similar findings in the two samples: Within couples, women had significantly greater global distress than men and significantly greater distress than men in most symptom dimensions. Hostility scores within couples were similar and indicated a high level of hostility. The findings may explain relational problems observed within bereaved couples. Interventions designed to help couples cope with their differences and their hostility may decrease relational problems.
研究了经历孩子突然死亡的夫妻之间的痛苦差异。比较了两个独立样本（分别为50对夫妻和60对夫妻）的结果。使用症状自评量表-90修订版（SCL-90-R）和症状自评量表（BSI）来测量总体心理痛苦以及九个症状维度的痛苦程度。配对t检验在两个样本中得出了相似的结果：在夫妻内部，女性的总体痛苦显著高于男性，并且在大多数症状维度上的痛苦也显著高于男性。夫妻之间的敌对得分相似，表明敌对程度较高。这些发现可能解释了丧偶夫妻中观察到的关系问题。旨在帮助夫妻应对差异和敌对情绪的干预措施可能会减少关系问题。
