The Relationship among in-law Relations, Partner Support under Conflicts with in-laws and Marital Quality

Abstract

Abstract: To investigate the relationship between in-law relations and marital quality, and test the moderating effect of partner support under conflicts with in-laws, 341 couples were surveyed by questionnaires. Results: 1)The relationship between couples and their parents in-law belonged to superior middling. Comparing to husbands, wives reported worse relationship with parents in-law and less partner support under conflicts with in-laws. 2)Both husbands and wives' relationship with in-laws predicted their own marital quality positively, and husbands' relationship with in-laws predicted their wives' marital quality positively. 3)Wives' perceived partner support under conflicts with in-laws played a moderating role on the relationship between in-law relations and their marital quality.

Key words: in-law relations, partner support, marital quality, moderating effect

摘要： 采用眼动记录技术和恋人概念威胁启动范式探讨自我和恋人面孔优势效应的产生和维持过程。结果发现：与概念非威胁启动条件下相比，概念威胁启动条件下，被试搜索恋人面孔时的兴趣区个数和搜索自我面孔时的平均眼跳次数与搜索陌生人面孔时比差异变得不显著；恋人面孔与陌生人面孔在兴趣区内总注视时间上的差异变得不显著。结果表明，自我与恋人面孔存在注意的优先捕获和维持优势，恋人概念的威胁启动会减少对恋人的关注，证明了建立恋人的积极概念是恋人面孔优势效应产生和维持的重要原因。
