When You’re With Me, Baby, the Skies will be Blue for All My Life? A Dyadic Longitudinal Study of Relationship Happiness Through Midlife
Romantic relationships are critically important for a range of psychosocial outcomes across the lifespan, but few studies have examined relationship happiness in midlife. We investigate the trajectories of relationship happiness of romantic couples in midlife and examine whether children in the household, work status, and gender predict these trajectories. Dyadic latent growth curve models were applied to six waves of longitudinal data from N = 2…
Within-person variability and couple synchrony in state relationship satisfaction
To better understand romantic relationship development, research has focused on how trait relationship satisfaction develops across months and years. However, because romantic relationships evolve in daily life, it is critical to also examine state relationship satisfaction and its fluctuations across and within days. In this preregistered study, we examined how strongly romantic partners vary in their state relationship satisfaction (within-pers…

Loneliness is associated with the subjective evaluation of but not daily dynamics in partner relationships
Loneliness describes a perceived deficiency in quantitative or qualitative aspects of individuals’ social relationships. Whereas the health-related consequences of loneliness are well-documented, surprisingly little is known about its interpersonal features and its consequences for relationship outcomes. In the present study, we investigated the association between loneliness and relationship experiences in partner relationships with a sample of …
Within-Couple Associations Between Communication and Relationship Satisfaction Over Time
Relationship science contends that the quality of couples’ communication predicts relationship satisfaction over time. Most studies testing these links have examined between-person associations, yet couple dynamics are also theorized at the within-person level: For a given couple, worsened communication is presumed to predict deteriorations in future relationship satisfaction. We examined within-couple associations between satisfaction and commun…
Does Retirement Change What Makes Us Satisfied With Life? An Examination of Response Shift With a Matched Control Group Design
Research has shown that life satisfaction depends on a person’s resources and that retirement is associated with resource gains and losses. We examine if these resources contribute equally to life satisfaction before and after the retirement transition. Coming from the psychological concept of response shifts, we conceptualize an adjustment process to major life changes in which also the association between different resources and life satisfacti…
The (bidirectional) associations between romantic attachment orientations and mate retention behavior in male-female romantic couples
Hard-working in general but lazy at home? Generalized Big Five traits and relationship-specific traits in romantic couples over time
Interdependence of Approach and Avoidance Goals in Romantic Couples Over Days and Months
The present research underscores the importance of disentangling state- and trait-level goal tendencies when investigating the interdependence of approach and avoidance goals within romantic relationships
Until death do us part
This work aims to integrate previous research perspectives on terminal well-being decline and partner bereavement by investigating the codevelopment of life satisfaction in the years preceding the death of one partner. We analyzed longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (N = 1,450 couples) and applied dyadic multilevel models to estimate both partners' trajectories of life satisfaction and to reveal the pathways of well-being…
