Abstract

Previous research examined links from economic and cultural adaptation pressures to marital satisfaction and marital behavior. Results generally suggested a negative association between these sources of pressure and marital outcomes. However, the extant research is lacking given its inattention to the extent to which husbands and wives experience varying patterns of interrelated pressures and the differential links between patterns of economic and cultural adaptation pressures and marital outcomes. Using latent profile analysis, we identified four distinct patterns of economic and cultural adaptation pressures, underscoring the diversity in experiences among a seemingly homogeneous population of low-income Mexican immigrant couples. Furthermore, differences in marital satisfaction and marital negativity were identified, highlighting how varying patterns of pressures are differentially linked to marital quality.

摘要

之前的研究考察了经济和文化适应压力与婚姻满意度和婚姻行为之间的联系。结果通常表明这些压力来源与婚姻结果之间存在负相关。然而，现有的研究缺乏关注，因为它没有注意到丈夫和妻子在多大程度上经历了相互关联的压力的不同模式以及模式之间的差异联系。经济和文化适应压力和婚姻结果。使用潜在概况分析，我们确定了四种不同的经济和文化适应压力模式，强调了看似同质的低收入墨西哥移民夫妇之间经历的多样性。此外，还确定了婚姻满意度和婚姻消极性的差异，突出了不同的压力模式如何与婚姻质量存在差异。
