Dyadic coping responses and partners’ perceptions for couple satisfaction: An actor–partner interdependence analysis

Silvia Donato; Miriam Parise; Raffaella Iafrate; Anna Marta Maria Bertoni; Catrin Finkenauer; Guy Bodenmann

Applying the actor–partner interdependence model to 114 couples’ data, we examined the link between partners’ change in reported dyadic coping responses from 6 months before marriage to 12 months after marriage and change in the perceptions of the other’s dyadic coping responses, the role of these associations for partners’ change in relationship satisfaction, and the role of gender in these relations. Results highlighted both accuracy and projection effects in partners’ perceptions. Moreover, one’s perceptions of the other’s dyadic coping responses mediated the effect of both one’s own and the others’ reported dyadic coping behaviors on one’s satisfaction. Findings are discussed in light of the implications for the study of dyadic coping and partner support as well as for intervention.

When good things happen: Explicit capitalization attempts of positive events promote intimate partners’ daily well-being

Sharing good news with the partner improves individual and relational well-being. While prior research has confirmed the benefits of such capitalization processes, knowledge on how the type of events that are shared, and the way they are shared, affects individuals and relationships is limited. We investigated diary data from 49 married couples to examine associations between the explicitness in the disclosure of events that were either internal or external to the couple, and individual and relational well-being, above and beyond the effects of the events and their disclosure. Multilevel analyses suggested that self-esteem and relationship quality increased as a function of women’s and men’s reports of internal and external positive events, but not as a function of the mere disclosure of the event. Being explicit when disclosing a positive event to the partner, however, was positively associated with individual and relational well-being in women and in men, beyond the effects of the event and its disclosure. We discuss how the current research contributes to the understanding of the capitalization process and its contribution to well-being, underscoring the importance of communication skills.

Engaged patients, engaged partnerships: Singles and partners dealing with an acute cardiac event

A few studies examine patients’ (and partners’) individual and relational functioning after an acute cardiac event and no research focuses on the individual and relational factors associated with the patient’s engagement in his/her disease management. The present study aimed at exploring these variables in male and female patients as well as their partners. We pursued our objectives by taking advantage of a dyadic research design that involved both partners in the data collection, when present, and by including women patients in the sample. Findings showed that patients in a couple, compared to single patients, perceive that their illness had less serious consequences for their life and they were more engaged in their health care; that patients and partners showed comparable levels of distress; and that less depressed, more confident, and better informed patients were more likely to actively engage in their treatment. Findings are discussed in light of their implications for clinical practice.

Insofar as you can be part of me: the influence of intrusive parenting on young adult children’s couple identity

Claudia Manzi; Miriam Parise; Raffaella Iafrate; Constantine Sedikides; Vivian L. Vignoles

What is the role of family of origin in the formation of couple identity (i.e., considering couplehood as central to ones sense of self) among young adults? Two studies tested and supported the hypothesis that intrusive parenting hinders the couple identity of young adults. In Study 1, intrusive parenting was associated with weaker couple identity in a sample of 702 dating partners (351 couples). In Study 2, intrusive parenting was linked to a confused individual self-concept (i.e., lower self-concept clarity), which in turn was associated with weaker couple identity in a sample of 200 dating partners. Extra-relational factors, such as intrusive parenting, can and do predict the quality of couple identity.

Introduction to special section on the bright side of the couple relationship: Pro-relationship processes in response to positive and negative events

Silvia Donato; Miriam Parise

Partners in couple relationships inevitably encounter positive and negative events in their everyday lives: the ways they respond to such events have relevant effects on their personal and relational well-being. Within partners’ responses to positive and negative events, this special section focuses on partners’ pro-relationship processes regarded as those processes aimed at promoting partners’ relational well-being. Such a focus responds to recent calls to examine the ‘bright side’ of the couple relationship to come to a more complete understanding of how relationships resist to adversities as well as how they strive and flourish. In this special section, we equated the ‘bright side’ of the couple relationship not just with the positive (vs. negative) events couples might face, and not even with the inherent quality of the process responding to such events (positive vs. negative processes), but with the pro-relationship effects that each process might have in the specific context examined. In this special section of Family Science, nine articles analyze innovative aspects of processes traditionally studied in the close relationship literature (i.e. communication, disclosure, support, commitment, and conflict) as well as the role of newer individual processes (i.e. savoring and self-forgiveness) examined in their effects on the couple relationship. Findings are discussed in terms of the understanding of pro-relationship processes in response to positive and negative events as well as in terms of the implications for couple relationship interventions.

Keeping calm when riding the rapids: Optimism and perceived partner withdrawal

Miriam Parise; Silvia Donato; Ariela Francesca Pagani; Dominik Schoebi

Partners often encounter situations in which their needs and preferences diverge. Partners sometimes prefer to be on their own and withdraw from interactions, and these situations can cause distress. We hypothesized that optimists may navigate such situations more adaptively. Using momentary assessment and questionnaire data from 103 couples, we examined how spouses responded to perceived partner withdrawal and whether optimism moderated these responses. When spouses perceived the partner to withdraw, they reported less positive and more negative behaviors. Optimism moderated this effect beyond the effects of positive expectations, suggesting that optimists are less reactive to withdrawal. Partners with more positive expectations reported more benevolent behaviors, although they reported less benevolent behaviors on days of partner withdrawal than on other days.

Free to love? The role of intrusive parenting for young adult children’s romantic relationship quality

Miriam Parise; Claudia Manzi; Silvia Donato; Raffaella Iafrate

ABSTRACT Intrusive parenting is a form of boundary disturbance in the parent-child relationship which has been consistently associated with children’s maladjustment. The present study examines the role of intrusive parenting for young adult children’s romantic relationship quality. Relying on data from a two-wave longitudinal study among young couples in transition to marriage in Italy, we investigated the link between young adults’ perceived intrusive parenting and change in their romantic relationship quality from 6 months before marriage to 18 months after marriage, as well as the mediating role of change in the capacity to include the partner in the self. Data were analyzed using actor-partner interdependence modeling. Perceived intrusive parenting negatively predicted change in inclusion of the other in the self and change in romantic relationship quality for both partners. For females, change in their capacity of inclusion of the other in the self fully mediated the association between their perceived intrusive parenting and change in their own and partner’s relationship quality. Limitations and implications for practice are discussed.

E' tutta colpa mia! Il self-serving bias nella relazione di coppia

Miriam Parise; Raffaella Iafrate; Claudia Manzi; Ariela Francesca Pagani

Il self-serving bias e un bias cognitivo che porta gli individui a compiere attribuzioni di responsabilita interne in seguito ad un successo ed attribuzioni esterne in seguito ad un fallimento. Nel presente lavoro il self-serving bias e stato analizzato all’interno della relazione di coppia attraverso un compito sperimentale. Alla ricerca hanno partecipato 32 coppie intime e 32 pseudocoppie formate da due estranei abbinati dallo sperimentatore in laboratorio. I partecipanti, dopo avere svolto un compito dal risultato interdipendente, hanno ricevuto un feedback rispetto alla propria performance congiunta e hanno attribuito la responsabilita per l’esito del compito. I risultati hanno mostrato che le coppie manifestano l’otherserving bias ovvero tendono ad attribuire il merito per un successo al partner e la colpa per un fallimento a se stessi. Tale risultato e stato letto come un indicatore dell’identita di coppia dei partner.
