Abstract

This study investigated a hypothesized model underlying the association between consensus on common topics in couple relationships and romantic relationship satisfaction, while investigating the roles of the need fulfillment of romantic partners and relationship commitment (i.e., dedication commitment) among a sample of 183 adults from the southeastern United States. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test the theoretical model regarding how intimate partner/spouse consensus is associated with romantic relationship satisfaction. The results of SEM and path analyses revealed a good fit for the proposed structure, revealing that consensus on important issues in couple relationships was significantly linked with their engagement in fulfilling their partners' different needs. Engagement in helping fulfill romantic partners' needs and relationship commitment mediated the association between partner/spouse consensus and romantic relationship satisfaction. Implications for family life educators, dyadic couple researchers, and practitioners in marriage and family therapy are discussed.

夫妻关系中的共识、需求满足、承诺与满意度：结构方程模型

本研究以美国东南部183名成年人为样本，调查了恋人需求的满足和关系承诺（即奉献承诺）之间的关系，并对夫妻关系中共同话题的共识与浪漫关系满意度之间的关联进行了假设模型的调查。采用结构方程模型（SEM）对亲密伴侣/配偶共识与恋爱关系满意度的关系理论模型进行了检验。扫描电镜和路径分析的结果显示，这种结构与所提出的结构非常吻合，表明夫妻关系中对重要问题的共识与他们在满足伴侣不同需求方面的投入有显著的联系。帮助满足伴侣需求的参与和关系承诺在伴侣/配偶共识与浪漫关系满意度之间起中介作用。本文讨论了对家庭生活教育者、二元夫妻研究者和婚姻家庭治疗实践者的启示。
