Relationship partners affect one another's health outcomes through their health behaviors, yet how this occurs is not well understood. To fill this gap, we present the Dyadic Health Influence Model (DHIM). The DHIM identifies three routes through which a person (the agent) can impact the health beliefs and behavior of their partner (the target). An agent may (a) model health behaviors and shape the shared environment, (b) enact behaviors that promote their relationship, and/or (c) employ strategies to intentionally influence the target's health behavior. A central premise of the DHIM is that agents act based on their beliefs about their partner's health their relationship. In turn, their actions have consequences not only for targets' health behavior but also for their relationship. We review theoretical and empirical research that provides initial support for the routes and offer testable predictions at the intersection of health behavior change research and relationship science.
亲密关系伴侣会通过彼此的健康行为影响对方的健康状况，然而这种影响是如何发生的，目前还不太清楚。为了填补这一空白，我们提出了二元健康影响模型（DHIM）。DHIM确定了一个人（施动者）能够影响其伴侣（受动者）健康信念和行为的三条途径。施动者可能（a）示范健康行为并塑造共享环境，（b）采取促进他们关系的行为，和/或（c）采用策略有意影响受动者的健康行为。DHIM的一个核心前提是，施动者基于他们对伴侣健康及关系的信念而采取行动。反过来，他们的行为不仅会对受动者的健康行为产生影响，也会对他们的关系产生影响。我们回顾了为这些途径提供初步支持的理论和实证研究，并在健康行为改变研究与关系科学的交叉点上提供了可检验的预测。
