The time has come to talk of many things: a commentary on Kurdek (1998) and the emerging field of marital processes in depression
Article Abstract:
The improvement made by L.A. Kurdek on the data analysis produced by Frank D. Fincham and colleagues cannot be seen as accounting for the discrepant longitudinal or concurrent links between depression and marital quality. When all disturbance terms were permitted to correlate freely across spouses, there were signs of a gender difference in Fincham's data but no indication of any cross-lagged effects in the Kurdek data. It has been possible to identify a number of factors that may affect the ability to detect any potential causal link between marital distress and depression.

The nature and predictors of the trajectory of change in marital quality over the first 4 years of marriage to first-married husbands and wives
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate marital quality and depression over the first four years of marriage for first-married spouses. Surveys were used to obtain personal information about age, gender, education, race, personal income and employment. The Dyadic Adjustment Scale was then utilized to evaluate marital quality among the couples. Results indicated no differences in the plausible longitudinal causal paths between depressive symptoms and marital quality between spouses.

Construct of attributional style in depression and marital distress
Article Abstract:
Empirical investigations have not fully addressed the consistency in attribution responses or attributional style in spite of their theoretical importance. A total of 150 couples were sampled to determine if attribution responses within attribution dimensions and response patterns across attribution dimensions showed consistency in their relationships with adaptational results. The results' implications on the ideal level of attributional style conceptualization are presented.
