When Problem Talk Helps or Hurts the Relationship
It takes two to co-ruminate
Co-rumination-defined as when individuals perseverate on problems with each other, focus excessively on negative feelings, and cyclically discuss the causes and consequences of problems-is often examined from the perspective of the person seeking support or by assigning one rating of co-rumination to a dyad. This approach muddles how each person contributes to the "co" of co-rumination and may have implications for understanding prior work that h…
Investigating the social benefits of long-distance romantic relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic
Long-distance romantic relationships (LDRRs) are increasingly common, yet research directly comparing them to cohabitating romantic relationships (CRRs) remains limited. In this pre-registered study, we used a multinational, six-wave longitudinal dataset collected during the COVID-19 pandemic ( N observations = 1,772) and applied propensity score matching to compare LDRRs and CRRs on two core relational outcomes: conflict and passion. Drawing on …
Decomposing Variance in Co-Rumination Using Dyadic Daily Diary Data
It is unknown how co-rumination, or perseverating on problems or feelings with another person, unfolds in the daily lives of romantic couples. Using a variance decomposition procedure on data from a 14-day dyadic diary, we assessed how much variance in co-rumination was attributable to temporally stable and varying factors as well as whether co-rumination is better measured as a couple-level or individual-level process. Within-person, within-coup…
Within-person Changes in Co-rumination and Rumination in Adolescence
Covid-19 distress and interdependence of daily emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, and loneliness in cohabiting couples
Introduction: COVID-19 has had a profound impact on relationship functioning, though effects have been heterogeneous. Reasons for divergent effects on relationship functioning remain unclear. Theoretical models suggest that it is not just stress exposure that leads to adverse relationships outcomes, but also subjective response to these stressors. Using data from a 14-day intensive longitudinal study of romantic dyads, we hypothesized that COVID-…
Modeling heterogeneity in the simultaneous emotional costs and social benefits of co-rumination
Co-rumination is the act of perseverating on problems or negative emotions with another person. Past research has shown that co-rumination has tradeoffs, as it is related to more anxiety and depressive symptoms, yet also heightened feelings of closeness and better relationship quality. However, there has been little repeated measures work, leaving unknown the influence of within-person changes in co-rumination on individuals' functioning. Using d…
A Tailored Behavioral Intervention to Promote Adherence to the Dash Diet
Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the effects of a Transtheoretical model (TTM)-based tailored behavioral intervention (TBI), a non-tailored intervention (NTI) or usual care (UC) on: (1) the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern in 533 individuals with uncontrolled hypertension; and (2) the change from baseline to 6 months in proportion of participants in action or maintenance stages of change (SOC). Methods: This w…
