Exploring the relational landscape of married partners caring for aging family members
While several studies point to decreased relationship quality among caregiving couples, few studies have examined the mechanisms through which providing care can shape or reshape the characteristics of romantic relationships. To shed light on this issue, we engage the frameworks of relational turbulence theory (RTT) and transition processing communication (TPC) to identify both (1) the ways caregiving for an aging adult influences marital relatio…
The Role of Relationship Parameters in Emotion Experiences During Interactions Between Romantic Partners
Relational turbulence theory explains the mechanisms whereby relationship parameters influence partners’ emotion, cognition, and communication during specific episodes. Using dyadic, collaborative interactions, this study tested three understudied claims proposed by the theory to shed light on the antecedents and consequences of emotion during everyday conversations between romantic partners. Seventy-one couples completed a pre-test survey that i…
Conflict tactics in serial arguments
Ultimatums are a consequential yet underexamined conflict strategy. While often perceived as a distributive tactic, they can also function as pivotal moments of boundary-setting and relational transformation. Despite their presence in compliance-gaining, negotiation, and reconciliation literature, little is known about how ultimatums operate in serial arguments within close relationships. Thus, we engaged the serial argument process model to (1) …
Examining the role of stress and transition processing communication in the relationship experiences of married caregivers
Caring for an aging adult can harm an individual’s mental, physical, and relational well-being. Couples providing eldercare often report increased tension and conflict, decreased time for intimacy, and lowered marital adjustment. Nonetheless, few studies have attempted to explain the mechanisms through which caregiving experiences impact relationship evaluations. This study engages the frameworks of relational turbulence theory and transition pro…
Exploring the Barriers to Social Support Interactions
This study explores the reasons why young adults (ages 18–39) struggle to provide or avoid providing support to young adult cancer patients. The study also explores young adult cancer patients’ perceptions of why they have not received support from individuals who did not provide support. A total of 722 reasons were collected through online surveys and analyzed: 438 were provided by young adults who knew a young adult with cancer (N = 131), and y…
Support features, psychological reactance, and support outcomes
This study examined the ways in which characteristics of support interactions associate with psychological reactance and, in turn, affect support outcomes. Recent studies have linked the content/quality of support messages to psychological reactance. We build on those findings by exploring associations between reactance and features of the support provider, recipient, and problem-context. We gathered data from 615 college students who described a…
Loneliness, stigma, and the tendency for interpersonal victimhood inhibit compassion for some but not all suffering social groups
This study extends recent research on correlates of compassion for suffering social groups. Using a nationally representative sample of 627 U.S. adults, this study used cross-sectional survey data to determine if loneliness, the tendency for interpersonal victimhood, and stigmatizing attitudes held toward suffering social groups correlated with less compassion for suffering social groups. Participants were randomly assigned to respond in regard t…
Turbulence, framing, and planning among college daters
Engaging relational turbulence theory (RTT), this study examined how dating partners' relationship quality predicted cognitions and communication during planning conversations. In a lab-based study, college dating partners (n = 71 different gender couples) assessed their relational turbulence, participated in two planning activities, and then reported their perceptions of collaborative planning and relational framing for each activity. Outside ob…
