Abstract

This study examined spouses' depression and anger, causal attributions for negative marital events, and marital satisfaction in a community sample of 312 newlywed couples. The results showed moderate intercorrelations among these variables for both husbands and wives. Regression analyses showed that spouses' attributions accounted for unique variance in marital satisfaction after controlling for own and partners' affect. Additional findings regarding affect and marital satisfaction were discussed.
