This work complements existing research regarding the forgiveness process by highlighting role of commitment in motivating forgiveness. On basis an interdependence–theoretic analysis, authors suggest that (a) victims’ self-oriented reactions to betrayal are antithetical forgiveness, favoring impulses such as grudge and vengeance, (b) rests on prorelationship motivation, one cause which is strong commitment. A priming experiment, a cross-sectional survey study, interaction record study...

Previous relationship research has largely ignored the importance of similarity in how people talk with one another. Using natural language samples, we investigated whether dyads’ use function words, called style matching (LSM), predicts outcomes for romantic relationships. In Study 1, greater LSM transcripts 40 speed dates predicted increased likelihood mutual interest (odds ratio = 3.05). Overall, 33.3% pairs above median mutually desired future contact, compared 9.1% at or below median....
In paradigms in which participants state their ideal romantic-partner preferences or examine vignettes and photographs, men value physical attractiveness more than women do, earning prospects do. Yet it remains unclear if these remain sex differentiated predicting desire for real-life potential partners (i.e., individuals whom one has actually met). the present study, authors explored this possibility using speed dating longitudinal follow-up procedures. Replicating previous research,...
Accommodation refers to the willingness, when a partner has engaged in potentially destructive behavior, (a) inhibit impulses toward responding and (b) instead respond constructively. A pilot study 3 additional studies examined hypothesis that self-control promotes individuals' ability accommodate response romantic partner's behavior. Dispositional was positively associated with accommodative tendencies all 4 investigations. In addition, Study 1 (a retrospective study) 2 laboratory...
Narcissistic entitlement impedes forgiveness in ways not captured by other robust predictors (e.g., offense severity, apology, relationship closeness, religiosity, Big Five personality factors), as demonstrated 6 studies. involves expectations of special treatment and preoccupation with defending one's rights. In Study 1, predicted less greater insistence on repayment for a past offense. Complementary results emerged from 2, which used hypothetical transgressions, 3, assessed broad...
Five studies tested the hypothesis that self-regulatory failure is an important predictor of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Study 1 participants were far more likely to experience a violent impulse during conflictual interaction with their romantic than they enact behavior, suggesting processes help individuals refrain from perpetrating IPV when impulse. 2 high in dispositional self-control less perpetrate IPV, both cross-sectional and residualized-lagged analyses, low...
Transactive goal dynamics (TGD) theory conceptualizes 2 or more interdependent people as 1 single self-regulating system. Six tenets describe the nature of interdependence, predict its emergence, when it will lead to positive outcomes during and after relationship, consequences for relationship. Both partners in a TGD system possess pursue self-oriented, partner-oriented, system-oriented goals, all these goals pursuits are interdependent. states that relationship partners' pursuit, affect...
Psychological science has largely neglected the role of self-control in studying aggression. Fortunately, past half decade witnessed a surge research on this long-neglected topic, including two self-control-informed integrative theories Robust experimental evidence demonstrates that failures frequently predict aggression and, conversely, bolstering decreases Research rumination also suggests maladaptive anger regulation consequently, increases Advances from social-affective and cognitive...
In four studies, the authors investigated proposal that in context of an elite university, individuals from relatively lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds possess a stigmatized identity and, as such, experience (a) concerns regarding their academic fit and (b) self-regulatory depletion result managing these concerns. Study 1, correlational study, revealed predicted associations between SES, about fit, strength. Results Studies 2 3 suggested self-presentation involving domain is...
This article distills insights from historical, sociological, and psychological perspectives on marriage to develop the suffocation model of in America. According this model, contemporary Americans are asking their help them fulfill different sets goals than past. Whereas they ask physiological safety needs much less past, it esteem self-actualization more Asking latter, higher level typically requires sufficient investment time resources ensure that two spouses a deep bond profound insight...
Given the powerful implications of relationship quality for health and well-being, a central mission science is explaining why some romantic relationships thrive more than others. This large-scale project used machine learning (i.e., Random Forests) to 1) quantify extent which predictable 2) identify constructs reliably predict quality. Across 43 dyadic longitudinal datasets from 29 laboratories, top relationship-specific predictors were perceived-partner commitment, appreciation, sexual...
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a massive global health crisis. Because the crisis requires large-scale behaviour change and places significant psychological burdens on individuals, insights from social behavioural sciences can be used to help align human behavior with recommendations of epidemiologists public experts. Here we discuss evidence selection research topics relevant pandemics, including work navigating threats, cultural influences behaviour, science communication, moral...
