摘要：AbstractThis study evaluates the relationship between satisfaction and Communication Patterns (i.e., mutual constructive, demand- withdraw, mutual avoidance, and withholding). Participants included 229 married students, who completed communication patterns questionnaire (Christensen & Sullaway, 1984) and satisfaction (Hudson, 1992). Result of Pearson correlation showed that there was a negative relationship between dissatisfaction and mutual constructive. Furthermore there was a positive relationship between dissatisfaction and demander-withdraw communication. This study represents an important step in recognizing that marital research benefits from an examination of communication as a factor to consider in studies of marital functioning.
