Truth and Bias in Partner Perceptions of Attachment Orientation Over Time
People’s attachment orientations change over time and are linked with their relationship experiences. However, it is unclear whether perceptions of a partner’s attachment orientation—which likely reflect (and affect) aspects of a relationship—track with how the partner changes over time. Do people become more accurate judges over time? Further, are changes in judgments of partners’ dispositions affected by how happy people are in their relationsh…
Will you boost my joy or dampen it? Cultural differences in hedonic interpersonal emotion regulation in romantic relationships
A central tenet guiding contemporary research on emotions is that people are fundamentally motivated to feel good and avoid feeling bad. This principle translates from intrapersonal to extrinsic interpersonal emotion regulation; people not only strive to achieve the hedonic goal of managing their own emotions, but they also help others reach the same goal-the process called hedonic interpersonal emotion regulation (hedonic IER). Here, we challeng…
Spouses’ attachment orientations shape physiological responses to relational stress over time
This research examined how the interplay between spouses’ attachment orientations contributes to physiological responses to relational stress. Mixed-gender newlyweds ( N Wave 1 = 218 couples; N Wave 2 = 184 couples; N Wave 3 = 164 couples) discussed relationship conflicts during three laboratory sessions over the first 3–4 years of marriage. Individuals provided saliva samples to assess their cortisol levels before, during, and after each conflic…
How You Talk About It Matters
Communication plays an integral role in shaping romantic relationship quality. Yet, little is known about whether people from different cultural backgrounds communicate differently in their romantic relationships. Here, we addressed this issue by examining (a) whether the extent to which individuals communicate directly or indirectly in their romantic relationships varies by culture, (b) what mechanism underlies these cultural differences, and (c…
Constructivist Self-Construal
Building on independent versus interdependent self-construal theory, three studies provide initial empirical evidence for a third way of construing the self: the constructivist self-construal. People with a constructivist view perceive the self as constantly changing (impermanence), as a collection of distinct phenomena from moment to moment (discontinuity), as lacking an essence (disentification), and as psychologically overlapping with other pe…
