Abstract

The psychological states of wives and husbands are thought to influence each other to varying degrees. However, relatively little is known from a longitudinal observation about the effects of spouses' psychological distress and well-being on their mental health. To address this question, we analyzed the TWIN Study II dataset using a three-wave annual survey of the psychological distress and happiness of 379 dual-income families. A group-based trajectory modeling analysis was conducted to identify psychological distress patterns and happiness over time, while estimating the effects of spouses' psychological distress and happiness and their own job demands, control, and support as time-varying covariates. The two- or three-group trajectory model best fit husbands' and wives' psychological distress and happiness trajectories. Husbands' trajectories of psychological distress and happiness were significantly influenced by wives' happiness as well as their own job demands and/or support, whereas wives' happiness and psychological distress were not.

丈夫的心理健康受妻子幸福的影响，但反之亦然：纵向观察。

人们认为妻子和丈夫的心理状态会在不同程度上相互影响。然而，从纵向观察来看，人们对配偶的心理困扰和幸福感对其心理健康的影响知之甚少。为了解决这个问题，我们分析了 TWIN 研究 II 数据集，对 379 个双职工家庭的心理困扰和幸福感进行了三波年度调查。我们进行了基于群体的轨迹建模分析，以确定随时间变化的心理困扰模式和幸福感，同时估计配偶的心理困扰和幸福感以及配偶自身的工作需求、控制和支持作为随时间变化的协变量的影响。两组或三组轨迹模型最适合丈夫和妻子的心理困扰和幸福轨迹。丈夫的心理困扰和幸福感轨迹受到妻子幸福感以及自身工作要求和/或支持的显著影响，而妻子的幸福感和心理困扰则不受影响。
