Abstract

Levels of motivation and help‐seeking impact the effectiveness of couple relationship education (CRE), as those with greater help‐seeking and motivation are more likely to attend more sessions and remain engaged. Less is known about what impacts the association between motivation and help‐seeking between partners in a couple engaging in CRE. The current study aims to examine (a) the effect of couples' self‐stigma for help‐seeking on their own or partner's motivation to complete the relationship education program and (b) whether the effects differ between service modality (i.e., online and in‐person). We sampled 276 heterosexual couples who participated in a relationship education program. A multiple‐group actor–partner interdependence model analysis revealed that women and men with higher self‐stigma for seeking help exhibited lower motivation to complete the program in both settings. Higher self‐stigma in men for help‐seeking significantly enhanced the motivation of their female partners to complete the online relationship education program.

不同服务模式下求助与完成夫妻关系教育计划动机之间的关系

动机和寻求帮助的水平会影响夫妻关系教育（CRE）的效果，因为那些寻求帮助和动机更强的人更有可能参加更多的课程并保持参与。至于是什么影响了参与 CRE 的情侣之间的动机和寻求帮助之间的关联，目前还知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨：（a）夫妻寻求帮助的自我污名对其自身或伴侣完成关系教育计划的动机的影响；（b）不同服务方式（即在线和面对面）的影响是否不同。我们抽样调查了 276 对参加恋爱教育项目的异性伴侣。多组行动者-伴侣相互依存模型分析表明，在两种情况下，寻求帮助的自我污名较高的女性和男性完成课程的积极性都较低。而男性在寻求帮助时较高的自我污名感会显著提高其女性伴侣完成在线恋爱教育项目的积极性。
