研究结合使用观察法和自陈量表法对106对结婚3年内且没有小孩的夫妻在话题内容(2个水平：问题解决/社会支持）×话题选择者(2个水平：丈夫/妻子）互动中的权力大小及其与婚姻质量、婚姻稳定性的关系进行了分析。结果表明：(1) 在4种互动情境中话题内容主效应显著，丈夫和妻子在问题解决互动中各自的权力都显著大于其在社会支持互动中的权力大小，话题选择者主效应和交互作用不显著；每种互动情境下夫妻的权力差异不显著。(2) 不同权力类型（丈夫主导型/平衡型/妻子主导型）夫妻之间的婚姻质量和婚姻稳定性差异不显著，且不同权力类型稳定性夫妻之间的婚姻质量和婚姻稳定性也不存在显著差异。研究根据冲突构成理论、权力的跨情境一致性及动态性对结果进行了解释，并从自变量测量的全面性、样本选取特点、互动情境的选取以及夫妻对权力分配认可度等其他影响因素对权力与婚姻质量、婚姻稳定性的关系进行了讨论。

The study examined the scale of power of 106 Chinese couples, who have been married within 3 years and have no kids, under the topic contents (2 levels: problem solving/ social support) × topic choosers (2 levels: husband/ wife) contexts. Under these four situations, the certain types of couples’ power and the relationship of power and marital quality/ marital instability are examined. The results revealed that: a) for both husband and wife, the main effects of topic contents are significant; nevertheless, the main effects of topic choosers and the interaction effects show no significance. Meanwhile, the marital quality and instability of couples with different power types (husband dominant/ equilibrium/ wife dominant) have no significant difference, so does couples with different stability of power types. The present research interpreted the results under the frame of conflict structure theory, powers consistency across situations as well as the dynamic nature of power, and also discussed the results from aspects such as the measurement of independent variables, selection of samples, setting method of interactional situations and other possible influencing factors of marital quality and marital instability such as the approval of the attribution of power.
