Individual coping strategies and dyadic coping independently predict partner well-being and relationship functioning; however, it is unclear whether the coping processes are inter-related and whether they uniquely contribute to romantic relationship functioning. One hundred heterosexual dating couples rated the individual coping strategy of negative mood regulation as well as positive and negative dyadic coping. Relationship functioning was assessed via partners' reports of relationship satisfaction and observers' ratings of negative interaction in conflict. Actor-Partner Interdependence Models (APIMs; Cook & Kenny, 2005; Kashy & Kenny, 2000) revealed associations between individual coping and dyadic coping in the predicted directions. APIMs also indicated the unique contributions of positive and negative dyadic coping to relationship functioning, above and beyond contributions of individual coping strategies. Implications of dyadic coping as a target of efforts to prevent or treat partner and/or relational distress are discussed.
个体应对策略和对偶应对策略独立预测伴侣的幸福感和关系功能;然而,尚不清楚应对过程是否相互关联,以及它们是否对浪漫关系功能有独特的贡献。100 对异性恋约会情侣评估了个体应对策略中的消极情绪调节以及积极和消极的对偶应对。通过伴侣对关系满意度的报告和观察者对冲突中消极互动的评分来评估关系功能。演员-伙伴相互依赖模型(APIM;Cook & Kenny,2005;Kashy & Kenny,2000)显示了个体应对和对偶应对之间在预测方向上的关联。APIM 还表明,积极和消极的对偶应对在个体应对策略之外,对关系功能有独特的贡献。讨论了将对偶应对作为预防或治疗伴侣和/或关系困扰的目标的意义。
