What surprising finding emerged for couples’ who completed the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) in Rogge and colleagues’ (2014) study of relationship education interventions at UCLA?

Group of answer choices

Higher divorce rate at follow-up

 

Marital satisfaction decreased over time

 

Hostile communication was maintained over time

 

Empathy decreased over time

 

Perceived support decreased over time

 

 

Regarding marriage enhancement, or prevention programs, which of the following statements is TRUE?

Group of answer choices

A problem with evaluating the outcome research on PREP is that most of the studies did not employ random assignment.

 

There is some preliminary evidence that a variant of PREP (Self-PREP) used in Australia may actually be harmful to high-risk couples.

 

Preliminary evidence indicates that CARE couples are more satisfied than PREP couples at the end of the three-year follow-up.

 

Couples who participate in PREP are better at solving problems and communicating. However, they do not tend to be any more satisfied than non-PREP couples.

 

 

As described in your text, Halford, Sanders, and Behrens (2001) examined the effectiveness of a self-regulation version of the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (Self-PREP) for couples at low and high risk for marital distress. Couples either received Self-PREP or a placebo control. Which of the following is an accurate description of the results of this study?

Group of answer choices

There was no difference between the Self-PREP and the control conditions for either high or low-risk couples

 

All couples who were administered Self-PREP did much better over time than couples who received the control condition

 

High-risk couples did better when they received the Self-PREP program, but low-risk couples were actually more likely to deteriorate over time if they received the Self-PREP program rather than the control condition

 

Low-risk couples did well regardless of which condition they were in, while high-risk couples did much better if they received the Self-PREP program
