Abstract

Abstract. Background: Reality therapy’s WDEP helps people to become aware of their wants and to engage in directing, evaluating, and planning to recognize the challenges and find solutions to them. This study examined the effect of reality therapy intervention on marital intimacy needs and communication patterns in married men. Methods: We conducted this quasiexperimental study using a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The participants were 30 men selected using simple random sampling who were placed into two intervention and control groups, each of 15 persons. The data were collected using the Communication Patterns Questionnaire ( Christensen & Sullaway, 1984 ) and the Marital Intimacy Needs Questionnaire (MINQ; Bagarozzi, 1997 ). We performed the reality therapy intervention for the members of the intervention groups in 8 sessions of 90 minutes. We then analyzed the collected data using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with SPSS software (version 26). Analysis: The implementation of the reality therapy intervention increased the couples’ scores of intimacy needs and all its subscales ( p < .05). Further, there was an increase in constructive relationships with the spouse in the intervention group ( p < .01). However, these changes were not observed in the participants in the control group. Conclusion: Since the reality therapy intervention focuses on accepting responsibility, valuing thinking, and acting in life instead of making excuses, it can help married men to identify their intimacy needs and establish more effective communication with their wives.

WDEP在现实治疗中的魔力
摘要背景:现实疗法的WDEP帮助人们意识到自己的需求,并参与指导、评估和计划,以认识到挑战并找到解决方案。本研究考察了现实治疗干预对已婚男性婚姻亲密需求和沟通模式的影响。方法:我们采用前测后测设计和对照组进行了这项准实验研究。参与者是采用简单随机抽样法选出的30名男性,他们被分为两个干预组和对照组,每组15人。使用沟通模式问卷(Christensen&Sullaway,1984)和婚姻亲密关系需求问卷(MINQ;Bagarozzi,1997)收集数据。我们对干预组成员进行了8次90分钟的现实治疗干预。然后,我们使用SPSS软件(版本26)使用协方差分析(ANCOVA)对收集的数据进行分析。分析:现实治疗干预的实施增加了夫妻亲密需求及其所有分量表的得分(p<0.05)。此外,干预组与配偶的建设性关系也有所增加(p<0.01)。然而,在对照组的参与者中没有观察到这些变化。结论:由于现实治疗干预侧重于在生活中承担责任、重视思考和行动,而不是找借口,它可以帮助已婚男性识别自己的亲密需求,并与妻子建立更有效的沟通。
