Affectionate Communication in Romantic Relationships: Are Relative Levels or Absolute Levels More Consequential
Covid anxiety and mental wellness: The mediating roles of avoidance behaviors, affection deprivation, and received affection
Even in a post-pandemic world, individuals are still reporting feeling levels of anxiety related to COVID. The current study uses affection exchange theory to build a theoretic model relating COVID anxiety to COVID avoidance behaviors, affection deprivation/received affection, and aspects of mental wellness such as loneliness and depression. We assessed both direct and indirect effects in that model by collecting a Census-matched set of participa…
Interpersonal Loneliness Predicts the Frequency and Intensity of Nightmares: An Examination of Theoretic Mechanisms
The evolutionary theory of loneliness (ETL) argues that human belongingness is essential to survival and failing to meet belongingness needs constitutes a threat to viability. In two separate studies (total N = 1,609), links between loneliness and nightmares were examined as a test of ETL postulates. As hypothesized, loneliness predicted nightmare frequency (both studies) and nightmare intensity (Study Two only). Although stress mediated the rela…
Affectionate communication, health, and relationships
A robust body of research attests to the mental and physical health correlates and consequences of affectionate communication. Like much research on personal relationships, however, this work may overrepresent certain portions of the population, may underrepresent others, and may not effectively account for intersections of identities. We define intersectionality as comprising the unique effects of two or more social identities interacting with e…
Affection deprivation is more aversive than excessive affection: A test of affection exchange theory
Affection exchange theory predicts that both excessive affection and affection deprivation are associated with poorer health, compared with receiving the level of affectionate communication that one desires. A similar yet‐untested prediction is that affection deprivation is more aversive than excessive affection. This preregistered study tested both hypotheses on a battery of mental and physical health outcomes, including depression, loneliness, …
Relational Communication as a Partnership-Building Tool for Environmental Nonprofits
Environmental nonprofits (ENPOs) play vital roles in addressing environmental problems. To succeed, ENPOs must be adept at developing and maintaining successful partnerships with businesses, government agencies, and other NPOs. Even though evidence suggests ENPOs rely on these partnerships more than NPOs in other cause areas, however, relatively few empirical studies have focused on how they find success. This study explored what types of partner…
Relational and health correlates of excessive affection
The current study examined excessive affection, the perception that someone is receiving more affection than they would prefer. The study posed several hypotheses over three studies that all dealt with various psychosocial correlates of excessive affection. Specifically, the first two studies examined correlates of a more general perception of excessive affection (which were largely unsupported except for both anxious and avoidant attachment), wh…
Affection deprivation during the Covid-19 pandemic: A panel study
This study examined the longer-term effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns on relational communication and mental health. Specifically, the study used the theoretic premises of Affection Exchange Theory (AET: Floyd, 2006 ) to hypothesize connections between affection deprivation and several indices of mental health, including loneliness and depression. The study used a panel design to recruit participants at different time points during the COVID-19 l…
Affectionate communication and health: A meta-analysis
A robust literature documents the health benefits of affectionate communication. The present study offers a meta-analysis of this literature to estimate general effects of affectionate communication on several areas of health, including cardiovascular, stress hormonal, stress reactivity, and mental health. We also examined potential moderators, including the type of affectionate communication and sex, while predicting that the benefits of express…
Affection Deprivation in Marital Relationships: An Actor-partner Interdependence Mediation Analysis
The current study sought to assess the dyadic effects of affection deprivation in marital relationships. We used the tenets of affection exchange theory to examine the actor and partner effects between affectionate communication, affection deprivation, and mental and relational outcomes. Moreover, we tested whether affection deprivation mediated the association between affectionate communication and outcome variables. In terms of actor effects, a…
The longitudinal effects of alexithymia on romantic relationships
Using the tenets of Affection Exchange Theory, the study predicted longitudinal effects of alexithymia on both romantic relational outcomes (satisfaction and commitment) and relational communication (affectionate communication and relational maintenance behaviors). The study also predicted that Time 2 levels of relational communication would mediate the longitudinal effects of alexithymia on the relational outcomes. The results largely supported …
Affection substitution: The effect of pornography consumption on close relationships
Scholars have stated that humans have a fundamental need to belong, but less is known about whether individuals can use other resources to substitute for close relationships. In this study, 357 adults reported their level of affection deprivation, their weekly pornography consumption, their goals for using pornography (including life satisfaction and loneliness reduction), and indicators of their individual and relational wellness. We hypothesize…
Tell Me So That I Can Help You”: Private Information and Privacy Coordination Issues in the Context of Eldercare
In order to provide competent care to aging parents, adult children, and older parents must renegotiate long-standing privacy boundaries that allow caregivers access to parents’ private information. It is reasonable to surmise that caregivers encounter privacy coordination issues when attempting to care for their aging parent. This study utilizes Communication Privacy Management theory to explore what content is considered private and what privac…
Reconceptualizing the Role of Conformity Behaviors in Family Communication Patterns Theory
Family communication patterns theory is one of the most influential theories in the field of family communication. The current article examines the construct of conformity, arguing that current conceptualizations of conformity paint this behavior as largely a negative familial element. Instead, this research argues for the concept of warm conformity behavior, where parents communicate their ideas in ways that promote warmth and closeness rather t…
Family Communication Patterns and Communicative Responses to Jealousy: The Mediating Role of Alexithymia
Using family communication patterns theory, the current study proposed a mediating structural model between family communication patterns, alexithymia, and communicative responses to jealousy. Using a college student sample, the results largely supported the predicted model in terms of both direct and indirect effects. Specifically, both family communication patterns were significantly related to alexithymia, while alexithymia was significantly r…
Privacy and Family Communication about Genetic Cancer Risk: Investigating Factors Promoting Women’s Disclosure Decisions
This study explores the family communication of women (N = 175) who have tested positive for a gene alteration that predisposes them to an increased risk for cancer. More specifically, this study utilizes family communication patterns theory and communication privacy management theory to investigate the role of family communication and privacy management in women’s communication about genetic cancer risk with family members. Results found signifi…

Trait Affection Predicts Married Couples’ Use of Relational Maintenance Behaviors
The present study analyzed the role that trait affectionate communication, an individual-level trait, plays in dyads’ enactment of relational maintenance behaviors. We hypothesized that trait affection positively predicts both husbands and wives’ enactment of relational maintenance behaviors. In addition, we hypothesized that the relative contribution of wives’ trait affection to relational maintenance would be stronger than that of husbands. One…
Alexithymia and Impairment of Decoding Positive Affect: An fMRI Study
Previous research has implicated alexithymia as a psychological impairment to accurately decode emotional messages. This study attempted to explore potential neurological reasons for this impairment. Using functional brain imaging procedures, an experimental design was undertaken to assess group differences between individuals high and low in alexithymia on brain activation while viewing images of individuals displaying neutral or positive affect…
The impact of alexithymia on initial interactions
This study proposed several hypotheses predicting a deficit in the ability of alexithymic individuals to present themselves as attractive to a relational partner during an initial interaction. Both alexithymic and nonalexithymic individuals participated in a 10‐min interpersonal exercise with a stranger of the opposite gender. Relational partners were more attracted to nonalexithymics than alexithymics. Partners perceived higher levels of several…
State and Trait Affectionate Communication Buffer Adults' Stress Reactions
The present study tested the prediction that affectionate communication is positively associated with the release of oxytocin in response to stressors. One hundred participants completed questionnaire measures about their personal relationships prior to participation in a laboratory session that included a series of standard laboratory stressors. Both state and trait affectionate communication predicted increases in oxytocin during exposure to st…
Kissing in Marital and Cohabiting Relationships: Effects on Blood Lipids, Stress, and Relationship Satisfaction
Affection exchange theory and previous research suggest that affectionate behavior has stress-ameliorating effects. On this basis, we hypothesized that increasing affectionate behavior would effect improvements in physical and psychological conditions known to be exacerbated by stress. This study tested this proposition by examining the effects of increased romantic kissing on blood lipids, perceived stress, depression, and relationship satisfact…
Affectionate experience mediates the effects of alexithymia on mental health and interpersonal relationships
Affection has long been found to be a foundational force in any sort of human relationship, influencing such areas as relational closeness, stress, and depression. One psychological condition that may influence the communication of affection is alexithymia, which hinders the ability of an individual both to experience and to express emotion. On the basis of affection exchange theory, we hypothesized a mediating effect of affectionate communicatio…
