To understand the association between sexual transformations (i.e., changes in sexual behavior for the partner), intimate behaviors, and relationship quality among couples in romantic relationships, this study used Actor Partner Interdependence Models to examine frequency of sexual transformations, feelings about sexual transformations, and intimate behaviors as predictors of relationship satisfaction among 96 couples (N = 192). Sexual transformations were also examined as a moderator of the association between intimate behavior and relationship satisfaction. Results indicated that relationship satisfaction was positively associated with partners' frequent sexual transformations, actors' positive feelings about sexual transformations, and intimate behavior from the partner. Further, in less intimate relationships, relationship satisfaction was greater when partners reported making more sexual transformations.
为了理解浪漫关系中夫妻之间性转变（即与伴侣发生性行为的变化）、亲密行为和关系质量之间的关联，本研究使用演员-伙伴相互依存模型，检验了性转变的频率、对性转变的感受以及亲密行为作为 96 对夫妻（N=192）中关系满意度的预测指标。性转变也被视为亲密行为与关系满意度之间关联的调节因素。结果表明，关系满意度与伴侣频繁的性转变、演员对性转变的积极感受以及来自伴侣的亲密行为呈正相关。此外，在不太亲密的关系中，当伴侣报告进行更多的性转变时，关系满意度会更高。
