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...
People in close relationships can, and often do, experience ambivalence (i.e., mixed feelings) toward their romantic partner. Although is common consequential, research on this phenomenon fragmented. The present work examines how four different types of objective, subjective, implicit-explicit, implicit ambivalence) relate to well-being. In intensive studies ( N = 1,134) internal meta-analyses, was related lower personal relational well-being, but association only statistically significant...
Growing evidence suggests that the seeds of relationship decay can be detected via implicit partner evaluations even when explicit fail to do so. However, little is known about concrete daily relational processes explain why these gut feelings are such important determinants relationships' long-term outcomes. The present integrative multimethod research yielded a novel finding: participants with more positive exhibited constructive nonverbal (but not verbal) behavior toward their in...
People in romantic relationships tend to have positive feelings toward their partner and want relationship last. However, maintaining a over time is challenging, people can often experience mixed conflicting (i.e., ambivalence) significant other. While research has identified the serious consequences that ambivalence for personal relational well-being, very little known about factors lead relationships. The present work examines how extradyadic desire someone other than partner), common...
The 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in response to the murder of George Floyd highlighted lingering structural inequalities faced by people United States. In present research, we investigated whether these led reduced implicit and explicit racial bias among White U.S. Americans. Combining data from Project Implicit, Armed Conflict Location Event Data (ACLED), Google Trends, American Community survey, observed rapid drops measures after onset protests. However, both types slowly...
Discrimination in the evaluation of others is a key cause social inequality around world. However, relatively little known about psychological interventions that can be used to prevent biased evaluations. The limited evidence exists on these strategies spread across many methods and populations, making it difficult generate reliable best practices effective contexts. In present work, we held research contest solicit with goal reducing discrimination based physical attractiveness using...
Every year, billions of people celebrate Christmas all over the world—a religious event that is characterized by transient yet considerable changes in people’s social, cultural, and demographic environment. Drawing on Bias Crowds model, we investigate impact implicit bias. In Study 1, used Project Implicit data more than 4 million White US Americans find affects bias scores towards Black people, Arabs, with a darker skin tone, Judaism, Islam, gay people.. 2, conduct high-powered...
The presence of Confederate monuments and their removal has been a frequent topic societal discussion in the United States. Taking situational perspective (i.e., Bias Crowds model), present paper investigated whether from an area causally affect implicit racial biases people that area. Across multiple large-scale data analyses (N1 = 1,728,472), three experiments (N2a 1161, N2b 416, N3 91), field study (N4 176), we find no evidence or reliably affects people. Implications for models bias best...
This review offers close relationships as a fruitful avenue to address long-lasting questions and current controversies in implicit social cognition research. Close provide unique opportunity study strong attitudes that are formed updated through ongoing contact with significant others appear have important downstream consequences. Therefore, relationship contexts enable researchers apply fine-grained, dyadic, longitudinal methodologies insights regarding whether how automatic relate...
Implicit ambivalence involves holding strong positive and negative implicit evaluations toward the same object. This state is common in close relationships because even most satisfying partnerships involve conflicts other frustrating experiences that can be explained away through effortful motivated reasoning yet remain memory as mental representations involving partner. In fact, it appears normative for measures of partner attitudes to reveal ambivalence. Despite being common, however,...
Evidence suggesting that implicit partner evaluations (IPEs), but not explicit (EPEs), can predict later changes in satisfaction and relationship status has led researchers to postulate IPEs must be especially sensitive relational reward costs.However, supporting evidence for this assumption remains scarce, very little is known regarding how versus EPEs actually update everyday life.Two studies (one in-lab dyadic interaction study, N = 255, one 14-day diary 348) investigated updating the...
Recent work suggests that implicit partner evaluations have long-term implications for relationship success. However, little evidence shows whether and under which conditions affect maintenance processes in daily life, especially those exhibited situations may be highly decisive the fate of relationship, such as when partners hurt each other. Drawing upon dual-process theories, we predicted that, executive control is limited—either a trait or state—people’s influence forgiveness toward their...
Every year, billions of people celebrate Christmas all over the world—a religious event that is characterized by transient yet considerable changes in people’s direct social, cultural, and demographic environment. Drawing upon situational models, present research investigated change implicit bias towards racial, religious, sexual minority groups period a sample 4,046,637 White US Americans. We find acts as an ambiguous prime, increasing Blacks, Arabs, with darker skin tone decreasing it...
When intimate partner violence occurs, both victims and perpetrators may justify the violence. However, efforts to understand justifying typically rely on written descriptions of violent acts or are assessed well after has occurred. Do even while they see it happening? A novel paradigm addressed this question in two cross-sectional studies (Study 1, N = 535 Study 2, 480). Using paradigm, participants non-violent relationships gave in-the-moment continuous justification ratings (using a...
This work adopts an Interdependence Theory framework to investigate how the features of interdependent situations that couples face in their daily life (i.e., which partners influence each other’s outcomes) shape attachment security toward current partners. An experience sampling study examined tendencies and people with partner predict satisfaction trust relationship, changes avoidance anxiety over time. Results revealed encountering corresponding outcomes both have same preferences)...

Combining data from Project Implicit, ACLED, Google Trends American Community survey, observed rapid drops measures after onset protests.

Abstract Satisfying romantic relationships offer numerous social and health benefits, making it critical to understand the trajectory of relationship satisfaction. In recent years, research has begun examine role automatic processes in contexts. particular, a growing number studies have incorporated indirect (implicit) measures developed by socio‐cognitive researchers capture people's partner attitudes —the spontaneous affective reactions toward their that people may at times be unable...
