The purpose of this study was to examine anxiety, attributions, and marital quality in a sample of females. The first two hypotheses aimed to assess the relationship between anxiety and marital quality, and the relationship between attributions and marital quality. The primary research question aimed to assess attributions as a mediator in the relationship between anxiety and marital quality. Participants (N = 358) completed a demographic questionnaire, the Quality Marriage Index (QMI; Norton, 1983), the Marital Adjustment Test (MAT; Locke & Wallace, 1959), the Relationship Attribution Measure (RAM; Fincham & Bradbury, 1992), the Marital Attitude Survey (MAS; Pretzer, Epstein, & Fleming, 1991), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger, 1983), the Big Five Inventory – Neuroticism subscale (BFI-N; John & Srivastava, 1999), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen, 1994), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies – Depression (CES-D; Radloff, 1977). The researcher used hierarchical regression analysis to assess the first two hypotheses and structural equation modeling to assess the third research question. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that anxiety and marital quality correlated inversely after controlling for depression, such that higher levels of anxiety correlated with lower levels of marital quality. Additionally, these analyses showed that attributions and marital quality correlated positively after controlling for depression, such that higher levels of positive attributions correlated with higher levels of marital quality. Structural equation modeling analysis provided evidence that attributions mediated the relationship between anxiety and marital quality, such that greater anxiety predicted more negative attributions which then predicted lower marital quality. Limitations, implications, and future considerations were all addressed.

Book excerpt: This study examines the role that marital attributions may play in the relationship between the occurrence of stressful life events and marital quality. Specifically, it is suggested that within a crisis theory framework, the meaning couples attribute to stressful events may either mediate or moderate the impact of stressors on the marital relationship. First, several models of stress adaptation in families and marriages are discussed. Next, current research on marital attributions is reviewed, and problems with this field of research are explored. Finally, the possible role of marital attributions in stress adaptation is examined. A total of 60 married couples completed measures on current life stressors, marital quality, and marital attributions. The mediational model failed to find support due to the lack of a strong relationship between life stressors and marital attributions. Partial support for the moderational model was found. These results can be interpreted as indicating that the marital quality of couples who make relationship-enhancing attributions about their spouses' negative behaviors is less negatively affected by stress than those who make distress-maintaining attributions. Findings concurrent with the literature on resilience suggest that the experience of life stressors may afford an opportunity for a couple's marriage to strengthen if adaptive marital attributions are used. Differences in the moderational role of marital attributions between men and women and stress adaptation literature suggest future avenues of research.

Book excerpt: "Research over the past two decades has revealed a robust reciprocal relationship between depression and marital dissatisfaction, but only recently have researchers been able to tease out the most clinically useful and coherent patterns in the data depicting this relationship." "In this volume, leading scholars synthesize these data, describe innovative data analysis strategies, and present original research that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries to include perspectives from developmental psychopathology, social and personality psychology, and clinical research and practice. The recurrent nature of depression, the significant gender differences in interpersonal patterns, and the need to tailor marital therapy to account for differences among subgroups of depressed patients are among the themes explored by chapter authors. Their conclusions imply fundamental shifts in the way that we frame questions about families and pathology, conduct research, and attempt to intervene therapeutically in the lives or depressed patients."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study reviews previous research supporting the utility of a two-dimensional conceptualization of marital quality and its association with cognitive attributions. Extension of these results to two categories of attributions, distress-maintaining and relationship-enhancing attributions, was attempted. Attributions were measured using a self-report inventory and an observational coding system for a videotaped problem-solving interaction. Married couples from a college and community sample (N = 83) participated. The current study yielded partial support for the utility of two-dimensional marital quality as a predictor of the measures of attributions, particularly for coded attributions. Two-dimensional marital quality might be especially useful in accounting for motivation to improve the marriage as a factor operating on the association between quality and attributions. Discussion summarizes current results, discrepancies between current and previous research, limitations of the current study, and avenues for further research to clarify the conditions under which two-dimensional marital quality is most useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of family studies has recently seen the development of a more specialized focus on the character of particular relationships. The nature of these relationships may take many forms but typically involves individuals who view themselves as a unit with a long-term commitment to continue their relationship. Traditionally, at least in western societies, families are defined in terms of two parents living together with responsibility for rearing their children. However, these so-called nuclear families are becoming a rarer phenomenon. Single-parent families, childless couples, lesbian or gay male couples are also all represented in the broad mix of relations referred to as families. Each of the chapters in this book deals with a primary relationship issue. These include: issues of early marriage how young relationships become enduring relationships parent and child relations conflict between partners the interface between work and family life marital quality and maintenance divorce and its impact on the family aging and older families This volume provides a useful reference for professionals whose research and/or clinical practice focuses on family relationship issues. This book is also intended for advanced students in the areas of sociology, close relationships and family sciences. Families as Relationships is one of a series of paperbacks dedicated to the study and application of processes by which individuals relate to each other in social and family settings. Each book provides an expanded and up-to-date version of a section in the original Handbook of Personal Relationships (second edition) edited by Steve Duck.

Book excerpt: This is the first book to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary overview of evidence-based relationship and marriage education (RME) programs. Readers are introduced to the best practices for designing, implementing, and evaluating effective RME programs to better prepare them to teach clients how to have healthy intimate relationships. Noted contributors from various disciplines examine current programs and best practices, often by the original developers themselves. Readers learn to critically appraise approaches and design and implement effective, evidence-based programs in the future. Examples and discussion questions encourage readers to examine issues and apply what they have learned. The conceptual material in Parts I & II provides critical guidance for practitioners who wish to develop, implement, and evaluate RME programs in various settings. Chapters in Parts III & IV follow a consistent structure so readers can more easily compare programs-- program overview and history, theoretical foundations, needs assessment and target audience, program goals & objectives, curriculum issues, cultural Implications, evidence based research and evaluation, and additional resources. This book reflects what the editor has learned from teaching relationship development and family life education courses over the past decade and includes the key information that students need to become competent professionals. Highlights of the book’s coverage include: Comprehensive summary of effective evidence-based RME training programs in one volume. Prepares readers for professional practice as a Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) by highlighting the fundamentals of developing RME programs. Describes the challenges associated with RME program evaluation. The book opens with a historical overview of RME development. It is followed by 20 chapters divided in six parts. The initial four chapters focus on fundamentals of relationship and marriage education --program development, required training, delivery systems, and implementation. The three chapters in Part II consider important conceptual and theoretical frameworks used in RME. Part III considers best practices in inventory based programs while Part IV examines six skills-based programs. The chapters in Parts III and IV consider program overview and history, theoretical foundations, needs assessment and target audience, program goals and objectives, curriculum issues, cultural implications, evidence-based research & evaluation, and additional resources. This content covers four categories of effective programs -- design and content, relevance, delivery and implementation, and assessment and quality assurance. Part V presents evidence-based RME with diverse groups and Part VI reviews future directions. Intended for use in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in relationship and marriage education, family life education, marriage and relationship counseling/therapy, intimate relationships, relationship development, or home/school/community services taught in human development and family studies, psychology, social work, sociology, religion, and more, this ground-breaking book also serves as a resource for practitioners, therapists, counselors, clergy members, and policy makers interested in evidence based RME programs and those seeking to become Certified Family Life Educators or preparing for a career in RME.
