Participants were asked to submit a holiday greeting they had received, their perception of why the holiday greeting was sent, whether the holiday greeting functioned to maintain the relationship, and whether and why they had sent a holiday greeting in return. The most frequent reason for sending holiday greetings was 'because we have a relati…

Sex Differences and Similarities in Communication
Relational Continuity Constructional Units and the Maintenance of Relationships
Sigman (1991) proposed that relationships are continuous despite discontinuous periods of physical and interactional co-presence and that couples manage the discontinuous aspects of social relationships by using Relational Continuity Constructional Units (RCCUs). RCCUs are actions or behaviors that couples do before, during, or after an absence to bridge the gap in the relationship caused by the absence. Our study examined the relationship betwee…
Self-Disclosure in Spouse and Stranger Interaction A Social Relations Analysis
The purpose of this study was to examine self-disclosure as both a personality trait and an interaction process. Forty men and women engaged in dyadic conversations with three same and three opposite-sex strangers and their spouses on each of three occasions. The conversations were coded for type of self-disclosure (descriptive vs. evaluative) and level of intimacy. The data were analyzed using Social Relations Analysis. The results of the study …
The effect of relational stage and intimacy on touch
The effects of relational stage, intimacy, and gender on touch were examined. Participants were 270 partners from 135 couples involved in a heterosexual romantic relationship. Results indicated that touch varies as a function of relational stage. An examination of relational stage and subjects' perceptions of how much they touched their partner and how much their partner touched them generally indicated an asymptotic relationship. Specifically, m…
Interpersonal Communication
Gender-Preferential Language Use in Spouse and Stranger Interaction
Research on sex differences in the communication practices of men and women often ignores the contexts in which communication takes place. By comparing women and men as they interact with both strangers and spouses, the authors present a more nuanced view of gender differences in social interaction. The authors discuss gender-preferential language and present data on social interaction in same-sex, mixed-sex and marital dialogues. Results of a ro…
Definitions and Theoretical Perspectives on Maintaining Relationships
Sex differences in self-disclosure
A meta-analysis of 205 studies involving 23,702 Ss was conducted to determine whether there are sex differences in self-disclosure. Across these studies, women disclosed slightly more than men (d = .18). This effect size was not homogeneous across studies. Several moderator variables were found. Sex of target and the interaction effect of relationship to target and measure of self-disclosure moderated the effect of sex on self-disclosure. Sex dif…
Marital Partners' Perceptions of Marital Maintenance Strategies
The purpose of the present study was to examine marital partners' perceptions of the underlying similarities among the marital maintenance strategies initially reported by Dindia & Baxter (1987). The perceptual judgment sorts of ninety-one married persons were analyzed using individual differences multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analysis and content analysis. Results indicated that husbands and wives sorted the maintenance strategi…
Strategies for Maintaining and Repairing Marital Relationships
Although relationship research has concentrated on relational formation and termination processes, most of the time spent in long-term relationships is devoted to relational maintenance and/or repair. The present study examines the maintenance/repair strategies reported by fifty couples (n= 100 spouses). It attempts to discover the strategies and the ways in which their number and choice are related to marital satisfaction, participation in a mar…

Antecedents and Consequences of Awkward Silence A Replication Using Revised Lag Sequential Analysis
McLaughlin and Cody's (1982) study of antecedents and consequences of awkward silence is replicated in this study. McLaughlin and Cody concluded that behavioral sequences before silence in dyads with multiple silences were characterized by a pattern of minimal response by one participant. They also concluded that posts/fence sequences were characterized by the presence of question-answer adjacency pairs. Advances made in our understanding of lag …
