A Latent Profile Analysis of Need Fulfillment in Romantic Relationships
Do people have their psychological needs fulfilled uniformly or unevenly within romantic relationships? We measured fulfillment of seven psychological needs and used latent profile analysis to identify potential heterogeneity in need fulfillment (NF) across two convenience samples: a sample of dating college students (Study 1: N = 688) and a sample of cohabiting participants recruited from Prolific (Study 2: N = 294). Five profiles consistently e…

A Latent Profile Analysis of Reasons for Cohabitation
We used latent profile analysis to further understand the heterogeneity of individuals' reasons for cohabitation. Using two samples of cohabitors ( N = 563), we measured the extent to which cohabitors endorsed three reasons for cohabiting (time together, testing, and convenience). We identified six profiles: low levels of time together and testing and an average level of convenience (Profile 1; moderately convenience‐driven), high levels of time …
Psychological Well‐Being and Distress Among College Students: The Mediating Role of Resilience as a Dynamic Process
The collegiate mental health literature reveals a single‐spectrum perspective on mental health, with studies investigating either pathology or wellness. Following a dual‐continua model, this study sought to examine psychological distress and well‐being concurrently, based on a sample of 5670 students recruited from a mid‐sized private university in the United States. Further, informed by a dynamic‐process resilience framework, we tested the media…
Changing for the worse: The effects of attachment anxiety on perceived self-adulteration
In romantic relationships, people's self-concepts (i.e., a person's conceptualization of themselves) change. They expand to incorporate partners' characteristics and contract to eliminate no longer relevant self-characteristics. This process is a sign that a couple is growing closer and is associated with positive outcomes. However, not all incorporated characteristics are positive. Some individuals are more likely to have selves that expand to i…
Why are you single: Examining the influence of reasons for being single on the stereotypes associated with single adults
In the current work, consisting of 1 correlational study and 1 experiment ( N = 534), we examined the societal acceptability of different reasons for being single and investigated whether there are differences in perceptions of single adults depending on the reason that they are single. In Study 1, we found that reasons for being single vary regarding how acceptable they are considered by others. Drawing on the stereotype content model, in Study …
The effects of conflict resolution styles on perceived relational self-concept change
No romantic relationship, no matter how fulfilling and satisfying it may be, is without conflict. We sought to understand how the conflict resolution styles a person uses in their relationship are associated with their perception of their self. Specifically, we examined negative conflict resolution styles and their influence on perceived relational self-concept degradation. In two studies (Ns = 272 and 184), we predicted and found that the more f…
Promoting healthy sexual relationships: The benefits of perspective‐taking and self‐expansion in interracial relationships
People in romantic relationships experience a decline in sexual desire as the relationship progresses, leading them to seek couples therapy. Discrimination and added stress exacerbate this decline. Prior research has identified self‐expansion (i.e., a person's need to expand their selves to take on more perspectives and worldviews) as a relational process to bolster sexual desire. It remains untested if self‐expansion can enhance sexual desire am…
Committed to staying single: Adapting the investment model of commitment processes to study singlehood
In the current work, we adapt the investment model of commitment processes for single adults. Across two cross-sectional studies using undergraduate and internet samples (total N = 647), we tested whether the same factors that predict relationship commitment (investment, satisfaction, and quality of alternatives) also predict commitment to singlehood. In line with this theoretical model, we found that singlehood satisfaction and investment in sin…
Women do not shy away from competition: Competition in same-gender and cross-gender friendship dyads
This study explored gender differences in competition within friendships of emerging adults. In a sample of 118 same and cross-gender friendship dyads, we used a quasi-experimental design to examine how people competed with friends and reacted to this competition when completing a task in both competitive and noncompetitive conditions. Using an Actor-Partner Interdependence Modeling approach to data analyses, we found that in the noncompetitive c…
