  • Measures of Relationship Power Dynamics in Romantic Relationships

    Open AccessEleanor J Junkins, Jaime Derringer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2025References: 30

    Power is central to understanding romantic relationship dynamics. Yet, the study of relationship power lacks consistent measurement or agreement on the latent construct. Valid measurement is essential to align theory and research and increase the likelihood of replicability and comparability between studies. We reviewed all power measures published in empirical articles ( k = 319) before 2022. We categorized measures into nine categories based on…

  • Unifying the Aspects of the Big Five, the Interpersonal Circumplex, and Trait Affiliation

    Open AccessColin G Deyoung, Yanna J Weisberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2013

    OBJECTIVE: Two dimensions of the Big Five, Extraversion and Agreeableness, are strongly related to interpersonal behavior. Factor analysis has indicated that each of the Big Five contains two separable but related aspects. The present study examined the manner in which the aspects of Extraversion (Assertiveness and Enthusiasm) and Agreeableness (Compassion and Politeness) relate to interpersonal behavior and trait affiliation, with the hypothesis…

  • Is it my overactive imagination? The effects of contextually activated attachment insecurity on sexual fantasies

    Open AccessGurit E Birnbaum, Jeffry A Simpson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2012Cited by: 9References: 52

    Three studies examined the effects of explicit and implicit insecurity priming on the content of sexual fantasies. In all studies, participants described a sexual fantasy narratively (Studies 1 and 2) or completed a fantasy checklist (Study 3) following contextual activation of attachment representations. In Study 1, explicit insecurity priming led to fantasies that involved interpersonal distance and hostility themes. This pattern was particular…

  • Gender Differences in Personality across the Ten Aspects of the Big Five

    Open AccessYanna J Weisberg, Colin G Deyoung et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychology2011

    This paper investigates gender differences in personality traits, both at the level of the Big Five and at the sublevel of two aspects within each Big Five domain. Replicating previous findings, women reported higher Big Five Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism scores than men. However, more extensive gender differences were found at the level of the aspects, with significant gender differences appearing in both aspects of every Big Five…

  • Desire under attack

    Open AccessGurit E Birnbaum, Yanna J Weisberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2011Cited by: 17References: 43

    The authors examined the effects of relationship threat on sexual motivations. In two studies, participants imagined relationship or non-relationship threat scenes and then rated their desire to have sex (Study 1) and the reasons for doing so (Study 2). The results indicated that relationship threat prompted both enhancement and relationship-based motives, suggesting that people use sex to both feel better and repair the threatened relationship. …
