The psychometric properties of the CIPS were examined through three independent studies. Study one conducted item reduction and preliminary analysis using a sample of 662 married individuals, with an additional 80 married individuals for test–retest reliability assessment. Study two validated the scale through 1207 married individuals. In study three, the effect of couple interaction pattern (CIP) on marital quality was analyzed among 310 newlywed couples using the actor–partner interdependence model (APIM). Results supported the construct validity, acceptable internal consistency, and test–retest reliability of the CIPS. Besides, concurrent validity was also proved by associations with conflictual communication patterns, marital quality, stability, emotional connection, and perceived partner support. APIM analysis also supported the association between CIP and marital quality.</p>","PeriodicalId":16320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of marital and family therapy","volume":"50 1","pages":"175-201"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61563189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guyette MS","doi":"10.1111/jmft.12675","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jmft.12675","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;In last year's annual report I indicated that the flow of manuscripts had begun to taper off midway through 2021. In 2022 this trend continued. As I reflect on my own scholarly productivity at the University of Minnesota, I know that the COVID-19 years took a toll on me and my energy for work. It is almost as if working non-stop for 2 years wore me down…go figure. I'm assuming that the restricted flow of manuscripts that we experienced in 2022 was a reflection of many of us feeling low energy for work and needing a bit of a break from having our laptops opened 24/7. Despite the challenges we've all faced in 2022 and in previous years, JMFT continues to be a go-to journal for the authors and readers of some of the best relationally-oriented clinical research that is being conducted around the world. I am happy to report that overall, the numbers that reflect the health and vitality of the Journal are still in good shape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the most significant thing that happened within the pages of JMFT in 2022 was the continuation of the trend set by my predecessors, to do a decade-review of all the systemic family therapy outcome research. These magnificent and informative articles are in the January 2022 issue of the Journal. I would like to thank each contributing author for their high-quality work that serves to advance the field. Additionally, I'd like to thank Drs. Kendal Holtrop and Andrea Wittenborn of Michigan State University as guest editors for this January issue. Their leadership was unparalleled in helping get authors engaged and producing the final product. I encourage each reader of this report to review the contents of this issue and see where these manuscripts can inform your practice, research, or teaching.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2022 (January 1st - December 31st) we received 150 total original submissions, a 16% decrease from the previous year's 179 submissions which was a decrease from 200 in 2020. In my mind, I still attribute these decreases to the after-effects of the pandemic. Despite the overall numbers being down a bit, I believe the quality of the manuscripts we have received is just as high as in previous years. Additionally, I have noticed a marked increase in the number of manuscripts that center the experiences of marginalized populations in family therapy, from both a therapist and client vantage point. I think the George Floyd murder and other such police-lead injustices, the country's current immigration crisis, and the country's political bifurcation all contribute to a social environment that has social justice-oriented MFTs generating more content on populations that have been less represented in our research. I am hopeful that this trend will continue well into the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our acceptance rate in 2022 was 29.2%. This represents a decrease as the acceptance rate in 2021 was 34.33%. Our submissions came from 27 different countries, an increase of 8% from last year's 25 countries.

The current study explored the associations between relationship mindfulness, negative relationship quality, and physical health. An online assessment was completed by 116 middle-aged different-sex couples that measured the variables of interest.

The results of interpretative phenomenological analysis consisted of two superordinate themes describing the couple experience of navigating BPD: (a) the shared experience of BPD as a relational stressor; and (b) adaptive dyadic coping in the context of BPD. Although BPD was experienced as a relational stressor, dyadic coping and shared externalization of BPD emerged as central components to adaptive couple functioning.

The purpose of this study was to develop a grounded theory of married women's response to the discovery or disclosure of spousal pornography use. This study included the experiences of 30 married women who reported spousal pornography use as a threat to relational attachment, who chose to remain with their spouse, and who reported evidence of individual and relational healing thereafter. The research question, “How do married women describe the experience of learning of their spouse's pornography use and the individual and relationship sequelae that follow?” was explored using grounded theory methods to analyze deidentified blogpost accounts emphasizing response to a spouse's pornography use. The results describe a process model highlighting three interrelated informant categories—emotional response, mental response, and physical response—and one resultant category—behavioral response.
