Marital strains and marital quality: The role of high and low locus of control

Article Abstract:

The effects of marital locus of control (MLC) on changes in marital quality are tested, using dat from a national probability sample of American husbands and wives, to determine the role of locus of control in the quality of a marriage. Results indicate that higher rates of MLC are linked to reports of higher positive marital quality and reports of lower negative marital quality. The presence of marital strains linked to lower levels of marital quality were more likely to be reported by spouses with lower levels of MLC.

An empirical typology of drinking partnerships and their relationship to marital functioning and drinking consequences

Article Abstract:

Research on the relationship between marital functioning and alcohol use revealed a natural typology of drinking partnerships in early marriage. Five different clusters of drinking partnerships were identified, which include social drinking partnership, light and frequent intimate drinking partnership and heavy and heavy out-of-home drinking clusters. The first three types have high marital functioning, while the last two exhibit low levels of marital functioning.
