The gender role constructs, interpersonal behaviors, and marital relationships of agoraphobic support group members were compared to those of controls of similar gender. Agoraphobic subjects scored significantly higher on measures of marital conflict and interpersonal dependency, and lower in self-confidence and self-agency/masculinity than controls. Agoraphobics viewed their marital relationships as significantly less satisfactory than controls in terms of level of support, depth of relationship, and characteristic level of conflict.
