Although the relationship between marital distress and depression has been well established, the intervening mechanisms that account for this association are less clear. This study highlights the importance of (a) analyzing the specific behavioral and linguistic patterns associated with marital distress and depression, (b) investigating these patterns in both men and women, (c) distinguishing between actor and partner effects by assessing both partners, and (d) examining biases in perception of interpersonal behavior by obtaining self and observer reports. Findings are discussed in the context of three prominent interpersonal theories of depression: Coyne's (1976) interactional theory of depression, Beach and colleagues' (1990) marital distress model of depression, and Hammen's (1991) stress generation model of depression. Seventy couples were recruited from the community and completed self-report measures of marital distress and depression. They were invited to the laboratory to discuss two areas of disagreement which were videotaped and coded using the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB; Benjamin, 1996) and the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count program (LIWC; Pennebaker, et al., 2001). In both men and women, depressive symptoms were associated with more submissive behavior. Men endorsing more depressive symptoms also tended to be more critical and less validating of their partners, and used more negative emotion words. Depressive symptoms did not predict an increase in negative partner behavior. A negative interpretive bias in the perceptions of self and partner behavior accompanied depressive symptoms, whereas marital distress was characterized by a more objective assessment of negative interpersonal behavior. Overall, spouses high in marital distress behaved in a more critical, defensive, and dismissive manner. Marital distress also predicted reduced support provision from women and fewer validations from men. In terms of linguistic patterns, marital distress was marked by more hostile language, such as greater use of swear words, anger words, and exclusion words in women, and fewer assents in men. Isolating the specific behavioral patterns and linguistic markers unique to marital distress and depression can greatly enrich our understanding of interpersonal functioning and could ultimately lead to more targeted interventions aimed at helping couples achieve enhanced marital satisfaction and mental health.
