Abstract

The present study explored sex differences in the predictors of relationship satisfaction (dyadic coping, love, sexual motivation, having children). A total of 465 Hungarian participants (319 women and 146 men) with a mean age of 33.6 years completed an online test battery comprising four self-report measures. The results revealed that women’s relationship satisfaction had more significant predictors than men’s, and half of the common predictors showed significant sex differences. Men’s satisfaction was positively predicted by the Intimacy and Passion components of love, while it was negatively predicted by Negative Dyadic Coping and by having at least one child. Besides Intimacy and Passion, two common predictors across sexes, women’s satisfaction was also positively predicted by the Commitment component of love, and also by successful coping with dyadic stress. By contrast, negative predictors were having sex as a means of coping with emotional problems (Sex as Coping), the individual aspect of dyadic coping (One’s Own Dyadic Coping), and Negative Dyadic coping. The findings are discussed in both bio-psychological and social constructionist approaches.

关系满意度预测因子的性别差异:二元应对、爱、性动机和生育的影响

本研究探讨了关系满意度预测因素的性别差异(二元应对、爱、性动机、生育)。共有465名匈牙利参与者(319名女性和146名男性)，平均年龄为33.6岁，完成了一项包括四项自我报告措施的在线测试。结果显示，女性的关系满意度比男性有更多显著的预测因子，其中一半的共同预测因子显示出显著的性别差异。男性的满意度被爱的亲密和激情部分正向预测，而被消极的二元应对和至少有一个孩子部分负向预测。除了“亲密”和“激情”这两个跨性别的共同预测因素外，爱情的“承诺”部分和成功应对二元压力也能积极预测女性的满意度。相比之下，消极的预测因素是将性作为应对情绪问题的一种手段(性作为应对)、二元应对的个人方面(自己的二元应对)和消极的二元应对。研究结果从生物心理学和社会建构主义两方面进行了讨论。
