  • Title: Couple Differentiation: Mediator or Moderator of Depressive Symptoms and Relationship Satisfaction?
    Author: Bartle-Haring S, Ferriby M, Day R.
    Journal: J Marital Fam Ther; 2019 Oct; 45(4):563-577. PubMed ID: 29522644.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether differentiation at the couple level would act as a moderator or a mediator in the association between marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms over time. In a sample of 412 couples, a latent profile analysis was performed to determine how couple differentiation scores were clustered. An Actor/Partner Interdependence Model was then estimated via a group comparison procedure in structural equation modeling. There was no evidence of a moderating effect of differentiation. A mediating model was then estimated and there was evidence that differentiation mediated the association between depressive symptoms and relationship satisfaction via actor and partner effects.
