Trust and biased memory of transgressions in romantic relationships
Relative to people with low trust in their romantic partner, people with high trust tend to expect that their partner will act in accordance with their interests. Consequently, we suggest, they have the luxury of remembering the past in a way that prioritizes relationship dependence over self-protection. In particular, they tend to exhibit relationship-promoting memory biases regarding transgressions the partner had enacted in the past. In contra…
Interpersonal forgiveness, trust, and the investment model of commitment
In an effort to extend a portion of the mutual cyclical growth model of relationships (Wieselquist, Rusbult, Foster, & Agnew, 1999), the present research examined the prediction that being forgiven by a partner may bolster one's trust in the partner. Results of a correlational survey study of individuals in dating relationships provided support for the hypotheses that: perception of a partner's forgiveness predicts trust in the partner; trust pre…
Commitment and Trust in Young Adult Friendships
Given the importance of maintaining mutuality in interdependent relationships, the goal of the present research was to determine if interpersonal trust serves as a gauge of partnersâ€TM commitment within young adultsâ€TM close friendships. It was hypothesized that individuals trust their friends to the degree that their friends are committed to their relationship, and that individualsâ€TM perceptions of their friendsâ€TM commitment mediates this …
When groups are more competitive than individuals: The domain of the discontinuity effect
The related goals of the research were to delineate the domain of discontinuity, 1st by demonstrating its occurrence in a nonmatrix situation and, 2nd, by establishing the antecedent outcome conditions necessary for producing a discontinuity effect. The 1st goal was met by designing a mixed motive situation involving the production of origami products. Under these conditions, the magnitude of the discontinuity effect did not significantly differ …
Close partner as sculptor of the ideal self: Behavioral affirmation and the Michelangelo phenomenon
This work incorporates concepts from the behavioral confirmation tradition, self tradition, and interdependence tradition to identify an interpersonal process termed the Michelangelo phenomenon. The Michelangelo phenomenon describes the means by which the self is shaped by a close partner's perceptions and behavior. Specifically, self movement toward the ideal self is described as a product of partner affirmation, or the degree to which a partner…
Commitment, pro-relationship behavior, and trust in close relationships
Long-term outcome maximization and the reduction of interindividual-intergroup discontinuity
Two experiments demonstrated that different procedures can be used to reduce the tendency for intergroup relations to be more competitive than interindividual relations. Experiment 1 revealed that this tendency was reduced when individual or group participants interacted with individual or group confederates who followed a tit-for-tat strategy as opposed to a Pavlov strategy or a standard control condition that did not involve confederates. Exper…
