The role of stress on close relationships and marital satisfaction
Randall, Ashley K; Bodenmann, Guy (2009). The role of stress on close relationships and marital satisfaction. Clinical Psychology Review, 29(2):105-115.
Abstract
Stress is a concept that has received increased attention in marital research during the last decade showing that it plays an important role in understanding the quality and stability of close relationships. Evidence suggests that stress is a threat to marital satisfaction and its longevity. Research has been based upon theoretical models of stress in close relationships, specifically family stress models (e.g. Hill, 1958; McCubbin & Patterson, 1983) and couple’s stress model’s proposed by Karney, Story, & Bradbury (2005) and Bodenmann (1995, 2005). In this review we: (1) examine the various theoretical models of stress, (2) analyze and summarize the typologies relating to stress models (internal versus external, major versus minor, acute versus chronic), and (3) summarize findings from stress research in couples that has practical significance and may inspire clinical work. Future directions in research and clincial significance are suggested.

TrendTerms displays relevant terms of the abstract of this publication and related documents on a map. The terms and their relations were extracted from ZORA using word statistics. Their timelines are taken from ZORA as well. The bubble size of a term is proportional to the number of documents where the term occurs. Red, orange, yellow and green colors are used for terms that occur in the current document; red indicates high interlinkedness of a term with other terms, orange, yellow and green decreasing interlinkedness. Blue is used for terms that have a relation with the terms in this document, but occur in other documents.
You can navigate and zoom the map. Mouse-hovering a term displays its timeline, clicking it yields the associated documents.
