|
Some couples in marital conflict choose to SSR(sleeping in separate rooms) as a coping mechanisms for the conflict. This pilot study was to compare men's perspectives with women's perspectives and psychological characteristics from the initiation of the SSR to returning to co-sleeping which were reported in the previous study. Three men in their 40s who had slept in separate rooms owing to the conflict were recruited as interviewees for this pilot study. They had shown very different viewpoints from women on the leading factor of initiating the conflict and the concomitantly psychological characteristics when choosing the SSR. The significant difference was found in understanding the function or role of the sexual intercourse that would resolve or mitigate the marital conflict. In conclusion, a follow-up study with more male respondents was suggested to identify the differences clearer.
