A sample of 67 married Japanese men and 79 married Japanese women, ranging in age from 25 through 85 years, were interviewed to clarify the relationship between marital adjustment and social adjustment. For the whole sample, the total score of the Short Marital Adjustment Test (SMAT; Locke & Wallace, 1959) and its subcategories, dyadic consensus and satisfaction, was significantly correlated with 5 subcategory scores of the Social Adjustment Scale-II (SAS-II; Weissman, 1978): household adjustment (except the spouse), external family adjustment, work adjustment, social leisure adjustment, and general adjustment. These correlations were present also for the women; for the men, they were present only for social leisure adjustment and general adjustment. Among men, the dyadic consensus scores of the SMAT had stronger correlations with the social adjustment scores; among women, correlations with the marital satisfaction scores of the SMAT were stronger. Thus, marital adjustment may be a part of social adjustment for women, but the two may be discrete for men.
对67名年龄在25岁至85岁之间的已婚日本男性和79名年龄在25岁至85岁之间的已婚日本女性进行了访谈，以阐明婚姻调适与社会调适之间的关系。对于整个样本，简短婚姻调适测试（SMAT；洛克和华莱士，1959年）及其子类别，即二元共识和满意度的总分，与社会调适量表-II（SAS-II；魏斯曼，1978年）的5个子类别得分显著相关：家庭调适（配偶除外）、外部家庭调适、工作调适、社会休闲调适和总体调适。这些相关性在女性中也存在；在男性中，仅在社会休闲调适和总体调适中存在。在男性中，SMAT的二元共识得分与社会调适得分的相关性更强；在女性中，与SMAT的婚姻满意度得分的相关性更强。因此，婚姻调适可能是女性社会调适的一部分，但对男性而言，两者可能是分开的。
