Abstract

This feminist-informed study examined the ability of the Biobehavioral Family Model (BBFM; Wood, 1993 Wood, B. L. (1993). Beyond the “psychosomatic family”: A biobehavioral family model of pediatric illness. Family Process, 32(3), 261–278. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1545-5300.1993.00261.x[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) to explain connections between heterosexual couple processes, health, and the influence of gender attitudes and beliefs. The sample consisted of 595 adults in romantic relationships. Results demonstrated some support for the BBFM in explaining health quality. Romantic partner emotional climate was positively associated with biobehavioral reactivity, and gender attitudes and beliefs were significantly associated with biobehavioral reactivity and disease activity. Applying the BBFM and incorporating gender through a feminist lens demonstrates ways by which couple processes affect individuals’ health, which has significant implications for couple therapy.

摘要

这项女权主义研究检验了生物行为家庭模型 (BBFM; Wood, 1993 伍德，BL（1993 年）。超越“心身家庭”：儿科疾病的生物行为家庭模型。家庭程序，32 (3), 261 – 278。https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1545-5300.1993.00261.x [Crossref]、[PubMed]、[Web of Science®]、 [Google Scholar]) 解释异性恋夫妇过程、健康以及性别态度和信仰的影响之间的联系。该样本由 595 名处于恋爱关系中的成年人组成。结果表明，BBFM 在解释健康质量方面得到了一些支持。浪漫伴侣的情绪氛围与生物行为反应呈正相关，性别态度和信念与生物行为反应和疾病活动显着相关。应用 BBFM 并通过女权主义视角纳入性别，展示了夫妻过程影响个人健康的方式，这对夫妻治疗具有重要意义。
