Particular attention is paid to the emergence of sex differences in interaction patterns and the experience of counselling plays an important part.
Download or read book The Association Between Communication Behaviors and Marital Distress written by Uzma S. Rehman and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past research has demonstrated that a variety of positive and negative communication behaviors are able to distinguish between distressed and nondistressed couples (e.g., Weiss & Heyman, 1997). Additionally, distressed couples engage in significantly higher levels of certain communication patterns, such as the demand/withdraw pattern (e.g., Christensen, 1987). The purpose of the present study was to compare the marital communication behaviors of Pakistani couples living in Pakistan, Pakistani Immigrant couples living in the United States, and American White couples living in the United States. All couples in this study were asked to engage in discussions of marital problems while being videotaped and the videotaped discussions were subsequently coded by trained observers. The results showed that both positive and negative communication behaviors were able to distinguish between distressed and nondistressed Pakistani and Immigrant couples. However, compared to the Pakistani and Immigrant couples, the White sample engaged in the highest levels of positive and negative behaviors. Past research has demonstrated that women are more likely to demand and men are more likely to withdraw during marital conflict discussions (e.g., Christensen & Heavey, 1990). This study tested two prominent theories advanced to explain why women are more likely to adopt the role of the demander while men are more likely to assume the role of the withdrawer: 'the social structural hypothesis' and 'gender difference hypothesis'. According to the social structural hypothesis, the gender difference in the demand-withdraw patterns is due to the power differential favoring men that is inherent in traditional marriages. According to the gender difference hypothesis, the gender difference in this pattern is a result of the different personality characteristics of men and women. The results showed that Pakistani wives were significantly more likely to engage in 'indirect pressures for change' than White wives and the reverse was true for 'overt negative pressures for change'. Also, in contrast to White and Immigrant wives, Pakistani wives were significantly more likely to withdraw than their husbands. Based on these findings, the present study found greater support for the 'social structural hypothesis' than the 'gender difference hypothesis'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marital Interaction: Experimental Investigations deals with experimental studies on marital interaction. Emphasis is on the importance of the role of description in the study of social interaction. Methods for the analysis of pattern and sequence, including cross-spectral time-series analysis, are also presented. Comprised of 15 chapters, this book begins with a historical review of several research traditions that have concerned themselves with families and marriages: the sociological tradition; the family therapy or systems tradition; the social learning tradition; and the developmental tradition. Research that points to the potential importance of the observation of consensual decision-making processes is also reviewed. A model of marital interaction called the Structural Model, which can be used to predict changes in marital satisfaction, is described. Subsequent chapters focus on the Couples Interaction Scoring System, an observational system for categorizing marital interaction; modern concepts of the assessment of reliability, particularly the stringent assessment that is necessary for sequential analysis; differences between well-functioning and poorly functioning marriages; couples' interactional styles in terms of communication skill deficits; and the concept of an individual's social competence. This monograph will be of interest to psychologists engaged in research on marriage, as well as sociologists and clinical researchers.

This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no perfect marriage. In all relationships, there will be stages of fluctuations. Intimacy and understanding may not always remain at a high level. Couples may sometimes feel that they are living with strangers, their passion ebbing out like a receding tide, and they may feel trapped in the same old arguments over finance or kids. And it is normal too. Life may seem to go in a monotonously boring way with all its daily stresses propelling emotional distance between the partners and ushering in boredom in the bedroom. However, the problem arises when partners neglect or fail to address these fluctuations in a constructive and positive manner. This will lead them to coldness and distance, conflicts of interests, disagreements in decisions, aggressiveness and violence in communication, even to the point of physical aggression, and ultimately, to the degeneration and dissolution of marriage and family. EFCCP proposes a novel style of communication based on Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg and Emotionally Focused Therapy by Johnson. The program will teach the couples how to engage in a compassionate communication and how to relate to their own feelings and needs as well as to that of their partners in a constructive manner, leading to reconnection and healing.

Download or read book Assessment of Marital Discord Psychology Revivals written by K. Daniel O'Leary and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987 this book was designed to present the most recent research data on assessment of various aspects of marriage. Noted authorities on specific assessment areas provide information on conceptual and practical issues in marital assessment. The chapters include assessment of: behavior; affect; social cognition; communication; sexual dysfunction; child and marital problems; family assessment. All the chapters include reference to specific assessment measures of the areas covered. In addition, for clinical use, one has been selected by each of the authors to represent a state of the art measure that can be used by clinicians. Reliability, validity, and normative data are presented on these measures, which appear in full in the appendix of the text. O'Leary provides a context for this book in the first chapter of the book, and in the final chapter, discusses with his co-author how they begin their assessments, from the initial phone contact, the assessment battery, the interviews with the clients and the couple, to the evaluation of the therapy sessions by the clients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral perspectives of relationship distress suggest that communication and relationship outcomes are tightly linked in couples. The series of studies in this dissertation examine observed communication in 10-min videotaped interactions at each of three time points (i.e., pre-therapy, post-therapy, 2-year follow-up) from a sample of 134 distressed couples assigned to either Traditional Behavioral Couple Therapy (TBCT; Jacobson & Margolin, 1979) or Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT; Jacobson & Christensen, 1998) in a randomized clinical trial. Although both treatments assume communication to be an integral aspect of relationship functioning, they are distinguished by IBCT's incorporation of acceptance techniques and use of contingency-shaped change strategies, and TBCT's explicit change focus using rule-governed methods. In Paper 1 we examined changes in individual partner communication rated by trained coders. We found continued improvements in communication following treatment termination, with IBCT couples demonstrating greater improvements from post-therapy to 2-year follow-up relative to TBCT couples. We also found limited evidence of associations between communication and relationship outcomes at 2- and 5-year follow-up. Finally, we replicated an odd finding that increased positivity is associated with poorer outcomes but clarified this finding by demonstrating that counterintuitive links between positivity and relationship satisfaction disappear after controlling for withdrawal. In Paper 2 we examined the extent to which "naïve" (untrained) raters could make useful judgments of couples' interactions. We compared naïve ratings of both overall relationship quality and dyadic interaction patterns to the trained ratings from Paper 1. Not only were naïve and trained ratings closely linked, but naïve ratings were also strongly and consistently associated with relationship satisfaction. Naïve ratings uniquely predicted relationship outcomes, and at times were better predictors of outcomes than trained ratings. In Paper 3 we investigated whether changes in naïve ratings over time depended on treatment condition. Consistent with the underlying theories of change in the respective treatments, TBCT couples improved more from pre-therapy to post-therapy, but IBCT couples improved more from post-therapy to 2-year follow-up. Taken together, the findings in this dissertation support communication improvements in couples following therapy termination, and the utility of innovative methods of communication assessment.
