Co-rumination, defined as when individuals perseverate on problems with each other, focus excessively negative feelings, and cyclically discuss the causes consequences of problems, is often examined from perspective person seeking support about a problem or by averaging both dyad members’ individual ratings co-rumination. This approach muddles how member contributes to “co” co-rumination may have implications for understanding prior work that has shown associations between intrapersonal...

Long-distance romantic relationships (LDRRs) have grown increasingly common due to career-related necessity and the proliferation of digital technologies. We sought understand how LDRRs differed from individuals in cohabitating (CRRs) during COVID-19 pandemic. Using a multinational, six-wave dataset collected beginning pandemic (Nobservations = 2,954), we hypothesized an interaction whereby spending more time with one’s partner than was typical would lead increased passion decreased conflict...

Co-rumination is the act of perseverating on problems or negative emotions with another person. Past research has shown that co-rumination tradeoffs, as it related to more anxiety and depressive symptoms, yet also heightened feelings closeness better relationship quality. However, there been little repeated measures work, leaving unknown influence within-person changes in individuals' functioning. Using data from 1,504 adolescents collected part a seven-wave study over 4 years, we...

During times of stress, we look to close others for support. Social support conversations are critical relationship maintenance and well-being. Yet, certain ways talking about problems-such as co-ruminating-can exacerbate stress. Since social co-rumination both dyadic processes, it is important examine physiological responses during these in a manner. Little research has examined synchrony the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) or co-ruminative conversations. The current capitalizes on an...

Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the effects of a Transtheoretical model (TTM)-based tailored behavioral intervention (TBI), non-tailored (NTI) or usual care (UC) on: (1) Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern in 533 individuals with uncontrolled hypertension; and (2) change from baseline 6 months proportion participants action maintenance stages (SOC). Methods: This was randomized clinical trial. Diet using validated Harvard DASH score calculated Willett Food...

Co-rumination is a social emotion regulation strategy characterized by extensive and exhaustive discussions of stressors negative emotions with another person. While research establishing the costs benefits associated co-rumination was formative, narrow focus on explaining heightened internalizing symptoms increased relationship quality in mostly White, US adolescents has precluded important advancements. In this article, we pave way forward offering new framework which to view that...

Abstract A wealth of research suggests that as stress increases, so does conflict in close relationships. But is this always the case? Specifically, how trajectory unfold period before and after an acute anticipated major life stressor? We capitalize on a 44‐day dyadic diary where one partner was preparing for New York State Bar Exam ( N = 312 couples) to explore leading up exam, well these patterns differed once exams finished. Results revealed examinees partners reported statistically...

It is unknown how co-rumination, or perseverating on problems feelings with another person, unfolds in the daily lives of romantic couples. Using a variance decomposition procedure data from 14-day dyadic diary, we assessed much co-rumination was attributable to temporally stable and varying factors as well whether better measured couple-level individual-level process. Within-person, within-couple fluctuations contributed most (~33%) total variance, summary scores based these were reliable....

COVID-19 has had a profound impact on relationship functioning, though effects have been heterogeneous. Reasons for divergent functioning remain unclear. Theoretical models suggest that it is not just stress exposure leads to adverse relationships outcomes, but also subjective response these stressors. Using data from 14-day intensive longitudinal study of romantic dyads, we hypothesized COVID-19-related distress would adversely one's own and partner's report average. Interdependence at the...

Abstract Two key processes in romantic relationships—power and dominance—can contribute to relationship disruption, but the association between these variables is complex. Elucidating power dominance during COVID‐19 pandemic particularly important given economic, social, health‐related stressors that pose a risk health. We examined associations power, stress, by recruiting 1813 participants complete an initial online survey at beginning of pandemic. Participants were contacted 10 22 months...

Background The COVID-19 pandemic changed nearly every aspect of daily life and had detrimental effects on mental health. Yet, impacts have been heterogeneous. We tested whether fluctuations in local percent positivity rates were associated with anxiety depression couples living NYC, as well these associations varied by relationship quality or season. expected that adverse may be attenuated high-quality relationships during warmer months, people habituate over time.
