夫妻間衝突因應策略類型及其影響

The Typology and Influence of Conflict-Coping Strategies in Taiwanese Married Couples

本研究的目的在於探討面對衝突問題時夫妻所採取因應策略之類型，並檢驗衝突因應策略、夫妻互動與婚姻品質間的關係。研究對象為大台北地區已婚夫妻525對，主要測量變項為夫妻衝突因應策略（包括理性溝通、隱瞞冷戰、忍耐避讓、嘮叨爭吵、傷己傷物、親友協調及委婉懷柔七大策略）、夫妻間互動（衝突程度與支持接受度）及婚姻品質（充實愉悅感與寂寥悔怨感）等三大類變項，以潛在類別分析及階層線性模型等方法進行分析。主要結果顯示：（1）夫妻運用的衝突因應策略可分為「少用策略型」、「冷戰熱吵型」、「相敬如賓型」及「多元應對型」四大類；（2）夫妻間支持的正面互動能增進婚姻品質，夫妻衝突對婚姻品質有不良影響，但此種不良影響隨著加入夫妻衝突因應策略類型而變得不顯著；（3）婚姻品質因夫妻衝突因應策略類型而有所不同，「相敬如賓型」夫妻的互動與婚姻品質均較佳，「多元應對型」夫妻則次之，「冷戰熱吵型」夫妻則相對較差，至於「少用策略型」夫妻的互動狀態良好，但婚姻品質則出現矛盾現象；（4）夫妻互動與衝突因應策略類型的交互作用顯著影響婚姻品質。最後並提及本研究的限制與未來研究方向。

This paper examined the typology of conflict-coping strategies among married couples, and their impact on the relationship between marital interaction and martial quality. Five hundred and twenty five Taiwanese married couples filled out a questionnaire which included seven factors of conflict-coping strategies: reason appeal, concealment and cold war, tolerance and acquiescence endurance, nagging, self-harm, others' intercession, and roundabout appeal; two aspects of interaction: conflict and received support; and two marital quality: satisfaction and regret. Latent class analysis and hierarchical linear models were applied. Results showed that the patterns of couples' conflict-coping strategies can be identified as 'rarely use tactic,' 'fighting and cold war,' 'direct moderation' and 'try diversely'. Those who received more support reported higher marital quality. Conflict had a negative effect on marital quality, but this effect disappeared depending on conflict-coping strategy pattern. Martial quality varied by different patterns of conflict-coping strategies. Those 'indirect moderation' couples reported higher support and marital quality, followed by 'try diversely,' and 'fighting and cold war' couples reported the lowest support. However, 'rarely use tactic' couples showed higher support, higher satisfaction, but higher regret. The interaction term of marital interaction and conflict-coping strategy pattern showed a significant effect on marital quality. Finally, the limits and future suggestions were discussed.
