Comparing perceptions of transgender and cisgender survivors of psychological abuse in dating relationships
Personal standards for judging aggression by a relationship partner
What determines whether people tolerate partner aggression? This research examined how norms, relationship experiences, and commitment predict personal standards for judging aggressive acts by a partner. Studies 1a and 1b (n = 689) revealed that experiencing aggression in a current relationship and greater commitment predicted greater tolerance for common partner aggression. Study 2 longitudinally tracked individuals who had never experienced par…
With partners like you, who needs strangers? Ostracism involving a romantic partner
Being ostracized by others threatens the satisfaction of fundamental needs, although less so when individuals first are reminded of a close relationship.

The data revealed a partner aggression–unhappiness link and evidence of misforecasting futur…

Why do People Blame Victims of Abuse? The Role of Stereotypes of Women on Perceptions of Blame
You can degrade but you can't hit
This study fills two major gaps in the partner aggression literature. First, little is known about perceptions of psychological aggression. Second, it is unclear whether any physical aggression or just high physical aggression is perceived to be negative and severe. We conducted an experiment with college students (N = 212) to examine perceptions of a hypothetical marital conflict that varied the husband's level of physical aggression (absent, lo…
From bad to worse
Having a satisfying romantic relationship is not always feasible, particularly as one discovers less‐than‐perfect partner characteristics. It is suggested that less committed couple members are more vulnerable to negative partner characteristics than are highly committed couple members. Forty‐one dating couples individually indicated their commitment level, were randomly assigned to receive positive‐ or negative‐false feedback about the partner’s…
