Being in a satisfying romantic relationship in adolescence is associated to many short- and long-term benefits. However, more research is needed to better understand what promotes relationship satisfaction in adolescence. To address this gap, this study used a diary approach to examine the relation between disagreements and daily variations in adolescent romantic relationship satisfaction. A sample of 186 adolescents was recruited (Mage = 17.08 years, SD = 1.48; 56% female). Multilevel modeling was used to evaluate how disagreement occurrences, resolution, and resolution strategies were related to daily perceived relationship satisfaction at both the between- and within-subjects levels. At the within-subjects level, satisfaction was lower on days when a disagreement occurred, especially for girls. Adolescents also reported lower relationship satisfaction on days when they used more destructive strategies than usual, and higher relationship satisfaction on days when they successfully resolved disagreements. This study demonstrates that adolescents' evaluations of their daily relationship satisfaction vary as function of disagreement processes.
在青春期拥有一段令人满意的浪漫关系与诸多短期和长期益处相关联。然而，需要开展更多研究以更好地理解是什么促进了青春期的关系满意度。为填补这一空白，本研究采用日记法来考察分歧与青少年浪漫关系满意度的日常变化之间的关系。招募了186名青少年作为样本（年龄中位数=17.08岁，标准差=1.48；56%为女性）。采用多层次建模来评估分歧的发生、解决以及解决策略在个体间和个体内层面上是如何与日常感知到的关系满意度相关的。在个体内层面，发生分歧的日子里满意度较低，尤其是对女孩而言。青少年还报告称，当他们使用比平常更多的破坏性策略时，关系满意度较低，而在成功解决分歧的日子里关系满意度较高。本研究表明，青少年对其日常关系满意度的评估会因分歧处理过程而有所不同。
