Men’s stress expression and perception of partner’s support within the romantic relationships
Although research on men’s stress expression, coping strategies, and attitudes toward support has been accumulated, there is a lack of evaluation of men’s stress expression and perception of their partners’ supportiveness within the context of romantic relationships. This review summarizes findings related to factors that influence men’s expression of stress and the ways in which they perceive the support provided by their romantic partners, as w…

The caregiver burden in male romantic partners of women with non-metastatic breast cancer
We examined the evolution of the subjective burden of romantic partners caring for women with non-metastatic breast cancer and investigated the moderating role of couple satisfaction on caring stress. Forty-seven partners filled out questionnaires 3 and 12 months after surgery. Using a stress process model, we examined caring stressors and moderating factors (couple satisfaction, coping and social support) as predictors of subjective burden. Resu…

Is the Partner Who Decides to Divorce More Attractive? A Comparison Between Initiators and Noninitiators
Five hundred eighty divorced individuals from Germany, Italy, and Switzerland provided retrospective reports on the perceived similarities and differences between themselves and their former partner and on their own and their partner's attractiveness. Initiators and noninitiators were compared with regard to these different variables. Results demonstrated that most divorcees perceived themselves to be quite similar to their former partner. Initia…
The role of stress in divorce
Drawing upon earlier models of stress and divorce, this retrospective study investigates how divorced individuals appraise the role of stress in their divorce. Data from divorced individuals (N = 662) from Germany, Italy, and Switzerland suggest that low commitment and deficits in interpersonal competencies (communication, problem solving, coping) are more likely than stress to be perceived as reasons for divorce. However, when considering everyd…
Attractors and Barriers to Divorce
A total of 711 divorced individuals from Germany, Italy and Switzerland provided retrospective reports on their perception of at-tractors and barriers to divorcing. This study combines the evaluation of macro-level variables (represented by three different countries) and micro-level variables (psychological variables) to better understand attractors and barriers to divorce. Among attractors of divorce, alienation was found to be most relevant, wh…
