“…There are several reasons to focus on these variables. First, relationship satisfaction is one of the most important variables in dyadic processes research (Falconier et al 2015). Second, positive emotions and relationship satisfaction are indicators of subjective well-being (e.g., Diener et al 1999).…”

“…Coupled parents can access a dyadic coping strategy, where they combine individual skills and capacities to deal with daily stressors or to support their partner in managing stressors (Bodenmann, 1995). In positive dyadic coping, couples can express and share stressful situations, receive both practical and emotional support from their partner, request for help in managing the stressors, and use a collaborative approach to cope with the stressors (Falconier, Jackson, Hilpert, & Bodenmann, 2015). However, single mothers simply do not have access to spousal support.…”

This study aimed to examine the influence of differences in household status on the parental stress, coping, time use and quality of life (QoL) among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders. Forty-three single and 164 coupled mothers completed the survey. Data were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. We found that single mothers were 1.05 times more likely to report lower levels of environmental QoL. Whilst they were 1.73 times more likely to use acceptance coping style, this association did not persist after adjusting for total number of children, household income and employment status. There was no difference in time use and stress between these mothers. Possible environmental issues for single mothers and implications for future research are discussed.

The relation between dyadic coping and relationship satisfaction in couples dealing with haematological cancer

et al. 2016

Couples' ability to cope with cancer is significantly associated with how satisfied they are with their relationship. However, little evidence specific to haemato-oncological patients exists. The objective of this study was to examine how dyadic coping (DC) affects relationship satisfaction among couples facing haematological cancer. Furthermore, we tested complex interactions between distress, disease-related and socio-demographic factors. In a multicentre study, 327 patients (haemato-oncological cancer; mean age: 57 years, 63% male) and their partners responded to surveys examining their relationship satisfaction, DC and distress. The Actor-Partner-Interdependence-Model (APIM) and moderator analyses were used to assess interactions between these concepts. In the APIM, positive DC was significantly related to greater levels of relationship satisfaction, and negative DC was related to lower levels of relationship satisfaction (all p < .001). The partners' distress was significantly related to lower levels of relationship satisfaction of the partners (p < .05). Furthermore, distress, age and relationship duration had significant moderating effects on the association between DC and relationship satisfaction (p < .05). Our results enable describing patient and partner as an interactional unit in which positive DC supports a satisfying relationship. They imply that strengthening positive DC in a couple facing haematological cancer can contribute to them having a well-functioning and sustaining relationship.
