Abstract Grounded in symbolic interaction theory, we used latent class analysis (LCA) to investigate the preexisting patterns of belief surrounding the disclosure process in married relationships. With a sample of 131 heterosexual married dyads from the U.S., we found four classes: two classes represented similarity of spouses’ beliefs (Both High Beliefs and Neither High Beliefs), and two classes represented dissimilarity of spouses’ beliefs (where only the wife endorsed high beliefs, Wife High Beliefs, and where only the husband did, Husband High Beliefs). Husbands’ satisfaction was positively associated with membership in the Both High Beliefs class. An interaction between spouses’ satisfaction was found: the impact of wives’ satisfaction on class membership is dependent on husbands’ satisfaction. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

披露过程信念的夫妇水平模式及其与婚姻满意度的关联

摘要基于符号交互理论，我们使用了潜在类别分析（LCA）来研究已婚关系中公开过程周围的信念模式。通过对来自美国的131个异性恋已婚双胞胎的抽样调查，我们发现了四个类别：两个类别代表配偶的信仰的相似性（两个高信仰者和两个都不信仰），两个类别代表配偶的信仰的异质性（只有妻子认可）高信仰，妻子高信仰，只有丈夫才有丈夫高信仰）。丈夫的满意度与“两个崇高信仰”阶层的成员身份正相关。发现配偶的满意度之间存在相互作用：妻子的满意度对阶级成员的影响取决于丈夫的满意度。
