  • Constructing Meaning in Digital Lives

    Open Access•J K Monk, Tyler B Jamison et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Theory & Review•2026

    Online forums offer family scholars a unique opportunity to learn how people make sense of complex issues related to family, identity, and relationships.

Online forums provide an authentic glimpse into a group or phenomenon through easily accessible, naturally‐occu…

  • Stabilizing the measurement of relationship instability

    Open Access•Matthew A Ogan, J K Monk•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2026•Referências: 57

    Participant reports of romantic relationship instability are of central interest in relationship science. However, this construct is inconsistently measured, with different response options and items presented. Across two studies, we assessed the psychometric properties of a 6-item scale of relationship instability based on a 2- or 5-response option (RO) format ( N Study 1 = 853; N Study 2 = 1,007). We also examined the psychometric properties of…

    Objective This study examines real‐time narratives from online forum users to understand their experiences with premarital uncertainty and gain insight into the decision‐making process around dissolving wedding engagements. Background Issues that lead to marital dissolution often emerge early in relationships, making the engagement period a critical phase to address concerns before the legal and emotional complexities of marriage arise. Informed …

  • Does stress promote or inhibit romantic partner support? A systematic review of competing hypotheses

    Open Access•Matthew A Ogan, J K Monk•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Theory & Review•2025

    Stress can negatively impact individual and relationship functioning. Romantic partner support is often assessed as a moderator of the effect of stress on well‐being. However, partner support is also conceptualized as a response to stress, highlighting a direct connection between stress and the support process. The support mobilization and deterioration models make competing claims about whether support increases or decreases in the face of stres…

  • Clarifying relationship instability

    Open Access•J K Monk, Brian Ogolsky et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Theory & Review•2025•Citada por: 3•Referências: 32

    Although relationship instability is one of the most widely studied relationship concepts, its definition remains unclear. To advance clarity and transparency in this area, we outline the diverse ways relationship instability is conceptualized and propose a conceptual model of relationship instability as a process. Given the important role of commitment in relationship development, we define relationship instability as a process of dramatic chang…

  • Establishing links between relationship cycling, relational stress, and well-being

    Open Access•René M Dailey, Amber Vennum et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2025•Referências: 40

    On-again/off-again cycling is prevalent, and partners in these relationships experience lower relational quality and more negative interaction patterns, increasing their risk for compromised relational and individual health. Conceptualizing relationship cycling as a chronic stressor, we assessed the association between cycling, relational stress, and compromised well-being (i.e., psychological and physical symptoms). Findings from four samples ( …

    Open Access•Dawson E Boron, E Killoren et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2024•Citada por: 2•Referências: 46

    Negative communication between partners can impede the enactment of prosocial, relationship maintenance behaviors. These processes are especially critical to consider for Latine young adults who hold cultural values, like familism, which emphasize the great importance of personal relationships. Using a sample of 475 Latine young adults ( M = 24.8 years, SD = 3.22), we examined the moderating role of familism on the association between negative co…

  • The intergenerational transmission of relationship instability

    Open Access•Emily J Charvat, Chelsea L Garneau‐Rosner et al.•ARTICLE•Family Process•2023

    This study extends prior research on the intergenerational transmission of relationship instability by examining parents' history of on‐off relationships as a predictor of emerging adults' own cycling (i.e., breaking up and renewing with the same romantic partner). Data were collected at a large mid‐western university from 702 emerging adults (18–25 years old). Multinomial logistic regression was used to predict the likelihood that participants h…

  • Understanding relationship satisfaction during Covid ‐19

    Open Access•J B Kanter, J K Monk et al.•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2023•Referências: 14

    The coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic resulted in economic concerns and disruptions in daily life for many families, which may amplify relational strains and create new tensions between romantic partners. Economic stressors may be particularly salient to later relationship quality in the context of more negative relationship functioning. This study investigated dyadic trajectories of relationship satisfaction in 116 different‐sex couples over a 6‐m…

  • Military couples' experiences in the aftermath of a cancelled deployment

    Open Access•Christina M Marini, E D Basinger et al.•ARTICLE•Family Process•2022

    Deployment requires considerable preparation for military families and changes to these plans may create notable stress. The current study leveraged data from a sample of military couples who experienced the cancellation of an overseas deployment to learn more about their experiences as they adjusted to this change. Guided by family stress and anticipatory stress perspectives, we analyzed qualitative data from 28 service members and their signifi…

  • Prior On–Off Relationship Instability and Distress in the Separation and Divorce Transition

    Open Access•J K Monk, J B Kanter et al.•ARTICLE•Family Process•2022

    Divorce is considered distressing for many individuals (Sbarra et al., Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2015, 24, 109 ); however, individuals in poor‐quality relationships may experience certain benefits of leaving an unstable union (Amato & Hohmann‐Marriott, Journal of Marriage and Family , 2007, 69, 621). On–off relationship cycling, or the breakup and reconciliation of a relationship, is a salient indicator of poor relationship qua…

  • Protective Buffering and Deception as Moderators of Relational Turbulence among Military Couples

    Open Access•Kelly G Mcaninch, Bryan Abendschein et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Studies•2021

    Research suggests that relational uncertainty corresponds with circumscribed communication, yet prior studies have not investigated the related constructs of falsifying information (deception) and concealing concerns to protect a partner (protective buffering). We grounded our investigation in the logic of relational uncertainty theorizing, which explains how uncertainty about a relationship complicates communication and corresponds with appraisa…

  • Emerging Ideas. Advancing Family Science Through Public Scholarship

    Open Access•J K Monk, Tashel C Bordere et al.•ARTICLE•Family Relations•2021

    Objective To increase the awareness and support for family scientists' engagement in public scholarship. Background Without appropriate dissemination efforts, important research findings may remain solely in academic journals without reaching the public. Grounded in a social justice perspective, we argue that family scientists are, and should be, on the frontlines of direct social change and activities related to broader impacts. Method In this c…

  • Trajectories of relational turbulence and affectionate communication across the post-deployment transition

    L K Knobloch, Lynne M Knobloch-Fedders et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2021•Citada por: 4•Referências: 16

  • Advancing Research and Theory on Aging Military Veterans in a Relational Context

    Open Access•J K Monk, Christine M Proulx et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Theory & Review•2020•Citada por: 1•Referências: 26

    Relationships are important for successful aging, but older military veterans (aged 65 and older) experience distinct barriers and challenges to social connection. We argue that theories of social connectedness and health in older adults do not fully reflect the experiences of veterans despite providing fundamental insight into the social needs of individuals in later life. Thus, the purpose of this article is to (a) articulate the importance of …

    To understand the process of relational turbulence and psychological distress in the context of the military, we used a grounded theory approach to analyze individuals' experiences in online forums. Analyses revealed a process by which perceived changes in individuals' romantic partners or their relationships and suspicions of infidelity led to a cycle of turmoil. Participants reported a tension between caring for their partner and upsetting expe…

  • Beyond cold feet

    Open Access•J K Monk, J B Kanter et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2020•Citada por: 5•Referências: 30

    The engagement period is a critical window to understand stay-leave decisions because it marks a stage when individuals are moving toward lifelong commitment, but do not have the obligations of legal marriage that make dissolution more difficult. According to Inertia Theory, felt momentum can propel couples through relationship transitions without sufficient consideration of their dedication, which could constrain partners in poor quality relatio…

  • Protective Buffering and Deception as Moderators of Relational Turbulence among Military Couples

    Open Access•Kelly G Mcaninch, Bryan Abendschein et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Studies•2021

    Research suggests that relational uncertainty corresponds with circumscribed communication, yet prior studies have not investigated the related constructs of falsifying information (deception) and concealing concerns to protect a partner (protective buffering). We grounded our investigation in the logic of relational uncertainty theorizing, which explains how uncertainty about a relationship complicates communication and corresponds with appraisa…

  • Emerging Ideas. Advancing Family Science Through Public Scholarship

    Open Access•J K Monk, Tashel C Bordere et al.•ARTICLE•Family Relations•2021

    Objective To increase the awareness and support for family scientists' engagement in public scholarship. Background Without appropriate dissemination efforts, important research findings may remain solely in academic journals without reaching the public. Grounded in a social justice perspective, we argue that family scientists are, and should be, on the frontlines of direct social change and activities related to broader impacts. Method In this c…

    L K Knobloch, Lynne M Knobloch-Fedders et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2021•Citada por: 4•Referências: 16

    Affectionate communication may play a key role in how military couples navigate the transition from deployment to reintegration. Informed by relational turbulence theory, this study considered how the trajectory of relational turbulence experienced by military couples over time predicted their verbal and nonverbal expressions of affection. Online self-report data were gathered from 268 U.S. military couples across eight months beginning at homeco…

  • The role of family-of-origin environment and discrepancy in conflict behavior on newlywed marital quality

    Open Access•J K Monk, Brian Ogolsky et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2021•Citada por: 7•Referências: 69

    How partners handle conflict may be transmitted across generations and contribute to relationship quality. Using a sample of 220 newlywed couples ( N = 440) we examined the associations between destructive family-of-origin conflict patterns and discrepancies in current conflict behaviors (e.g., conflict engagement, withdrawal, negative problem solving) with marital quality. Destructive conflict mediated the relationship between destructive family…

    How romantic partners respond to stress has important implications for the well-being of their relationship. In this study, we examined the effects of three types of stress on relationship instability and evaluated individuals' perceptions of their partner's dyadic coping as a mediator in a sample of 117 different-gender couples ( N = 234) across 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that perceived stress, but not economic pressure or pande…

  • Latino/a young adults' experiences of acculturative stress, depressive symptoms, and romantic relationship commitment

    We examined the direct and indirect effects of acculturative stress via depressive symptoms on romantic relationship commitment, and the moderating role of ethnic identity (EI) in these associations. Participants included 475 Latino/a young adults (61% women; M age = 25 years). Using conditional process modeling, we found that Latino/a young adults experiencing acculturative stress displayed greater depressive symptoms, which in turn, resulted in…
