A new study examining whether mental health affects a couple’s satisfaction with their partner reveals that there are three main differences between women and men \u2014 as men are more likely to remain in a ‘vicious circle’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The study, led by Loughborough University professor Paul Downward, analyzed data from 42,464 British couples to test the pattern of marital adjustment through the ‘diadic’ satisfaction of the partner.<\/p>\n
Findings published in the journal BMC Psychology<\/em>suggested that for women, relationship satisfaction was more likely to influence mental health.<\/p>\n While men were more likely to fall into a “vicious circle of deterioration” between pleasure with their partner and mental health.<\/p>\n For example, men’s strategy for coping with depressive symptoms included performing activities that alienated them from their partners, both emotionally and behaviorally.<\/p>\n The document is part of a broader project that suggests that health should be considered as an asset in which to invest in order for society and the individual to thrive.<\/p>\n On the importance of the study Professor Downward said: \u201cThe document emphasizes support for the current strategy in Britain, which identifies health as an asset that has a role to play in integrated care in society. As the literature says, satisfaction with partners is a path which makes both members of the couple find the same mental state, which in turn brings improvement in the quality of life and well-being of each individual.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
