OBJECTIVES: This study examined (a) the mediating role of depressive symptoms in the association between sleep quality (sleep latency) and marital quality among middle-aged and older African Americans, and (b) whether this mediation persisted when sense of control was included as an exogenous psychological resource.
METHODS: Participants were 101 middle-aged and older African American adults enrolled in a larger church-based intervention study aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the study hypotheses.
RESULTS: Sleep latency assessed at the initial assessment was significantly associated with marital quality assessed at the final assessment, and this association operated through depressive symptoms. However, once sense of control was included in the model, the indirect effect of sleep latency on marital quality through depressive symptoms became nonsignificant. Sense of control had direct positive effects on sleep latency, depressive symptoms, and marital quality, suggesting a compensatory process. Psychological distress has been identified as an intervening factor linking poor sleep quality to poor marital quality.
CONCLUSIONS: Sense of control appears to counteract the negative sleep-induced process by directly influencing sleep latency, depressive symptoms, and marital quality. The role of sense of control as an important psychological resource for resilience has been established in explaining the interrelationships among poor sleep, depressive symptoms, and marital quality.
