The present study applied C.L. Hammen's (1991) stress generation model to depressive symptoms in the context of marriage. The authors predicted that depressive symptoms would lead to increased marital stress, which would in turn lead to increased depressive symptoms. Social support processes were hypothesized to function as a mechanism by which dysphoric spouses generate stress. Hypotheses were tested in a sample of 154 newlywed couples. Depressive symptoms, marital stress, support perceptions, and support behavior (assessed using observational procedures) were assessed initially and 1 year later. Results provided evidence of marital stress generation among wives, and social support processes functioned as a mechanism of stress generation for wives. Results highlight the cyclical course of dysphoria and stress among wives.
本研究将C.L. 哈门（1991年）的压力产生模型应用于婚姻背景下的抑郁症状。作者预测，抑郁症状会导致婚姻压力增加，而这反过来又会导致抑郁症状加剧。社会支持过程被假定为烦躁不安的配偶产生压力的一种机制。研究假设在154对新婚夫妇的样本中进行了检验。抑郁症状、婚姻压力、支持感知和支持行为（通过观察程序进行评估）在最初和1年后进行了评估。结果提供了妻子中存在婚姻压力产生的证据，并且社会支持过程是妻子压力产生的一种机制。结果突出了妻子中烦躁情绪和压力的循环过程。
