摘要
神经质是影响婚姻质量的重要人格易感性因素。已有研究虽已证实二者之间存在负向关联，但对神经质如何经由伴侣支持影响婚姻质量，以及这一过程如何在个体与二元层面展开，仍缺少充分解释。基于婚姻的易感性-压力-适应模型，本研究结合主客体互倚模型和跨层共同命运模型，考察新婚夫妻中伴侣支持在神经质与婚姻质量之间的纵向中介作用。结果发现，（1）个体层面上，丈夫和妻子的神经质均显著负向预测其自身婚姻质量；（2）个体层面的中介分析中，妻子神经质通过降低感知的丈夫支持，间接负向预测妻子自身婚姻质量；（3）跨层共同命运中介模型中，妻子的个体层面神经质通过降低二元层面伴侣支持，间接负向预测二元层面婚姻质量。研究表明，伴侣支持是神经质影响婚姻质量的重要中介机制，尤其体现为妻子神经质通过个体层面与二元层面的伴侣支持共同损害婚姻质量。
Abstract
Neuroticism is an important personality vulnerability factor in marital relationships. Previous research has consistently shown that neuroticism is negatively associated with marital quality. However, most studies have focused on individual-level or cross-sectional associations, leaving insufficient understanding of how neuroticism influences marital quality through couples adaptive processes and how interdependence between spouses operates in this pathway. The newlywed period is a critical stage for the formation and adjustment of marital relationships, during which partner support may serve as an important mechanism linking personality vulnerability to later marital quality. Based on the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation (VSA) model, the present study examined the longitudinal mediating role of partner support in the association between neuroticism and marital quality among newlywed couples. To capture both individual-level interdependence and dyadic-level shared processes, we integrated the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) and the cross-level Common Fate Model (CFM).The study utilized a three-wave, longitudinal design with one-year intervals. Participants were 203 heterosexual newlywed couples from Beijing, China. At Time 1, both partners completed a measure of neuroticism (the Neuroticism subscale of the NEO-FFI). At Time 2 (one year later), they reported on the perceived partner support (the Support in Intimate Relationships Rating Scale). At Time 3 (another year later), marital quality was assessed (the Quality of Marriage Index). Data were analyzed using APIM to examine individual level and Cross-Level CFM to examine dyadic level, with spousal support tested as a mediator in the relationship between neuroticism and marital quality.The APIM mediation analysis revealed significant actor effects: wives and husbands own neuroticism at T1 negatively predicted their own marital quality at T3. Furthermore, wives neuroticism at T1 negatively predicted their husbands support at T2 ( = 0.14, p = 0.031), which in turn predicted their own marital quality at T3 (= 0.18, p = 0.027); the indirect effect was significant ( =0.0395%CI [0.070.00(3)]). Neither the direct nor the indirect partner effects were significant in the APIM. The total partner effect of wives' neuroticism on husbands' marital quality was significant ( = 0.12, 95% CI [0.26, 0.01]), but neither support pathway mediated it. The CFM results showed that the wives' neuroticism level at T1 negatively predicted the dyadic-level spousal support at T2 ( =0.32, p= 0.032). Dyadic-level spousal support, in turn, strongly predicted dyadic-level marital quality at T3 ( = 0.95, p = 0.009). The cross-level common fate mediation effect for wives was significant ( =0.3095%CI [0.980.03]), indicating that her neuroticism impaired the couple's shared sense of support and overall marital quality. No significant direct or indirect effects were found for husbands' neuroticism at the dyadic level.This study provided a nuanced, multi-level understanding of how neuroticism erodes marital quality through the mechanism of spousal support. Theoretically, it advanced the VSA model by elucidating a key mediating pathway and highlighting the critical distinction between individual perceptions and shared dyadic reality. These findings highlight the importance of perceived partner support in linking wives neuroticism to marital quality at the dyadic level. Practically, the results suggest that interventions aimed at improving marital quality should focus not only on reducing negative interactions but also on actively fostering and maintaining a high-quality, shared supportive environment.关键词
