Marital satisfaction and depression: different causal relationships for men and women?

Article Abstract:

Data relating to marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms was provided by a sample of 150 recently married couples. Another sample, 18 months later, of 116 of the couples provided further information. The data were examined based on three sets of causal models. Causal paths for men emerged from depression to marital satisfaction, but causal paths for women were from satisfaction to depression. A marital discord model of depression was used to assess the results.

Understanding marriage and marital distress: do milliseconds matter?

Article Abstract:

Research on the social cognitive processes involved in marriages with the aid of chronometric analyses indicates that the extent of marital distress depends on the responses of spouses to each other. The reconceptualization of sentiment override proves that only most accessible partners show this trait.
