How Americans communicate affection: Findings from a representative national sample
Humans are highly social beings who need intimate relationships to thrive and survive. Integral to human physical and emotional wellness is the need for affection. A substantial body of evidence has found that expressing and receiving affection with significant others is associated with a multitude of positive health outcomes. The primary goal of the current study was to create a generalizable typology of affectionate behaviors embedded within cl…
Firefighters' job stress and the (un)intended consequences of relational quality with spouses and firefighter friends
For firefighters, there is reason to believe that relational quality with spouses and firefighter friends might buffer the negative effects of occupational stress both on and off the job. In this study, we examined the associations among firefighters' relationship quality at work and at home, their job stress, job satisfaction, and quality of work life (QWL). We surveyed 428 male firefighters employed at 12 fire stations across Texas. All but one…
Self-disclosure mediates the effects of gender orientation and homophobia on the relationship quality of male same-sex friendships
This study tested the degree to which self-disclosure mediates the effects of gender orientation and homophobia on relational satisfaction, closeness, and commitment in men's same-sex friendships. Participants included 211 men from the southwest region of the US, who reported on either geographically close ( n = 107) or long distance same-sex friendships ( n = 104). Results indicated that self-disclosure mediates the positive effect of femininity…
An Exploratory Analysis of Critical Incidents of Closeness in the Mother/Son Relationship
The purpose of the current project was to investigate critical moments affecting closeness within the historically understudied mother/son relationship. A significant amount of research on the interpersonal qualities of the parent-child relationship has been conducted. A gap in knowledge regarding opposite-sex parent-child relationships, however, continues to exist. The purpose of this project was to identify significant life events that either i…

Fathers' and sons' reports of fathers' affectionate communication: Implications of a naïve theory of affection
According to Robey, Cohen, and Epstein (1988), children may hold a naïve theory of affection, whereby they believe that their parents' affection for them is a finite resource for which they must compete against their siblings. Parents, conversely, are unlikely to view their own affection in the same way. Although research on naïve theories is often conducted with youngsters, we speculated that even adult children may perceive that they compete wi…
Affection received from fathers as a predictor of men's affection with their own sons: Tests of the modeling and compensation hypotheses
The present study takes a developmental approach to predicting the amount of affectionate communication fathers give their own sons by examining the amount of affection men received from their own fathers. Two developmental orientations are addressed: the modeling hypothesis, which predicts that positive behavior patterns exhibited by parents will be replicated in their children's own parenting, and the compensation hypothesis, which predicts tha…
The measurement of affectionate communication
Affection is central to the communicative processes of personal relationships. While several empirical investigations have examined the communication of affection, there is little consistency from study to study in how affectionate communication is operationally defined, making it difficult to interpret the findings of such research and to compare findings across studies. The present paper reports the results of a multi‐phase scale development pr…
