dyadic coping and Relationship Satisfaction a meta analysis
Clinical Psychology Review, 2015Co-Authors: Mariana K Falconier, Peter Hilpert, Jeffrey B Jackson, Guy BodenmannAbstract:Meta-analytic methods were used to empirically determine the association between dyadic coping and Relationship Satisfaction. Dyadic coping is a systemic conceptualization of the processes partners use to cope with stressors, such as stress communication, individual strategies to assist the other partner cope with stress, and partners' strategies to cope together. A total of 72 independent samples from 57 reports with a combined sum of 17,856 participants were included. The aggregated standardized zero-order correlation (r) for total dyadic coping with Relationship Satisfaction was .45 (p=.000). Total dyadic coping strongly predicted Relationship Satisfaction regardless of gender, age, Relationship length, education level, and nationality. Perceptions of overall dyadic coping by partner and by both partners together were stronger predictors of Relationship Satisfaction than perceptions of overall dyadic coping by self. Aggregated positive forms of dyadic coping were a stronger predictor of Relationship Satisfaction than aggregated negative forms of dyadic coping. Comparisons among dyadic coping dimensions indicated that collaborative common coping, supportive coping, and hostile/ambivalent coping were stronger predictors of Relationship Satisfaction than stress communication, delegated coping, protective buffering coping, and overprotection coping. Clinical implications and recommendations for future research are provided.

predicting Relationship Satisfaction in distressed and non distressed couples based on a stratified sample a matter of conflict positivity or support
Family Science, 2013Co-Authors: Peter Hilpert, Guy Bodenmann, Fridtjof W Nussbeck, Thomas N BradburyAbstract:Spousal interactions are key predictors of Relationship Satisfaction in couples, but it is not yet sufficiently clear as to which aspect of spousal interactions matters most. In this study, three forms of interactions are examined to disentangle their unique associations with Relationship Satisfaction. Altogether, 1944 married individuals completed questionnaires in a cross-sectional study. Self-report measures of Relationship external stress, negative interactions (NIs), positive interactions (PIs), dyadic coping (DC), and Relationship Satisfaction were assessed. A multigroup path analytical mediation model was used to test whether couple interactions mediate the association between stress and Relationship Satisfaction. Stress stemming from outside the Relationship is highly associated with an increase in NIs and a decrease in DC. Although all interactions covaried significantly with Relationship Satisfaction, DC outperformed PI and NI. Being supported by the partner in times of need (i.e. after experien...

effects of Relationship education on maintenance of couple Relationship Satisfaction
Clinical Psychology Review, 2013Co-Authors: Kim W Halford, Guy BodenmannAbstract:Couple Relationship education (RE) is the provision of structured education intended to promote healthy couple Relationships, and prevent future Relationship distress. There is a well-replicated finding that 9–20 hours of curriculum-based RE produces short-term improvements in couple communication and Relationship Satisfaction, but that established finding does not test whether RE helps couples maintain high Relationship Satisfaction. The current paper summarizes 17 published studies evaluating RE that have follow up assessments of at least 1 year, of which 14 studies found RE helped maintenance of Relationship Satisfaction. Couples with elevations of modifiable risk factors benefit substantially from RE, while benefits for couples with low risk have not yet been reliably demonstrated. Couples with elevations on risk factors not readily modified by current forms of RE are likely to show little or no benefit. Future research needs to clarify the mediators of RE effects, and how those mediators are moderated by couple risk profiles.

the longitudinal association of Relationship Satisfaction and sexual Satisfaction in long term Relationships
Journal of Family Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Erin E Fallis, Uzma S Rehman, Erik Z Woody, Christine PurdonAbstract:Several prominent models of Relationship Satisfaction and sexual Satisfaction imply directional Relationships between these constructs (e.g., attachment theory, social exchange models of Relationship Satisfaction, the interpersonal exchange model of sexual Satisfaction). Previous research has demonstrated that sexual Satisfaction and Relationship Satisfaction are distinct but correlated constructs, but relatively few studies have examined how they are related over time. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine this association. A sample of heterosexual couples (N = 113) completed a longitudinal study spanning 2 years. At Times 1 and 2 they completed measures of Relationship Satisfaction and sexual Satisfaction. Data were analyzed according to the principles of the actor-partner interdependence model using structural equation modeling. Significant actor effects were detected such that, for both men and women, one's own earlier sexual Satisfaction predicted one's later Relationship Satisfaction. In contrast, one's own earlier Relationship Satisfaction did not significantly predict one's subsequent sexual Satisfaction. Sexual Satisfaction was a stronger predictor of subsequent Relationship Satisfaction for men than women. There were no significant partner effects. These results contribute to our theoretical understanding of sexuality and sexual Satisfaction in the context of long-term Relationships by providing support for theories that conceptualize sexual Satisfaction as one factor that contributes to Relationship Satisfaction.

Relationship Satisfaction and sexual Satisfaction: a longitudinal study of individuals in long-term Relationships.
Journal of sex research, 2005Co-Authors: E. Sandra ByersAbstract:This study examined the association between Relationship Satisfaction and sexual Satisfaction over time to provide evidence about possible causal explanations for the association between two variables. Eighty-seven individuals in long-term Relationships completed measures of sexual Satisfaction and Relationship Satisfaction at 2 times 18 months apart. There was only limited evidence, based on exploratory analysis, to support either the hypothesis that changes in a Relationship Satisfaction lead to changes in sexual Satisfaction or the hypothesis that changes in sexual Satisfaction lead to changes in Relationship Satisfaction. However, sexual Satisfaction and Relationship Satisfaction wer found to change concurrently. The quality of intimate communication accounted for part of the concurrent changes in Relationship Satisfaction and sexual Satisfaction. I discuss the results in terms of the need to develop more complex models depicting the longitudinal associations between Relationship Satisfaction and sexual Satisfaction.

degree and direction of sexual desire discrepancy are linked to sexual and Relationship Satisfaction in couples transitioning to parenthood
Journal of Sex Research, 2018Co-Authors: Natalie O Rosen, Kristen M Bailey, Amy MuiseAbstract:Many new parents are concerned that they have different levels of interest in sex than their partner. Understanding the role of desire discrepancies in their sexual and Relationship Satisfaction could help promote adjustment. In community couples, larger desire discrepancies have been inconsistently linked to lower sexual and Relationship Satisfaction. However, these studies rarely accounted for both the degree and direction (e.g., which partner has higher desire) of the discrepancy. We surveyed 255 mixed-sex new parent couples to assess their sexual desire, sexual Satisfaction, and Relationship Satisfaction. Using polynomial regression with response surface analysis (RSA), we found that desire discrepancies between partners (i.e., when partners were more mismatched as opposed to matched on their levels of sexual desire) were associated with lower sexual (but not Relationship) Satisfaction for both partners. However, the direction of desire discrepancy mattered: Parents felt less satisfied when mothers we...

Relationship Satisfaction moderates the associations between male partner responses and depression in women with vulvodynia a dyadic daily experience study
Pain, 2014Co-Authors: Natalie O Rosen, Sophie Bergeron, Gentiana Sadikaj, Maria Glowacka, Marylou Baxter, Isabelle DelisleAbstract:Abstract Vulvodynia is a prevalent vulvovaginal pain condition that interferes with women’s psychological health. Given the central role of sexuality and Relationships in vulvodynia, Relationship Satisfaction may be an important moderator of daily partner responses to this pain and associated negative sequelae, such as depression. Sixty-nine women (M age = 28.12 years, SD = 6.68) with vulvodynia and their cohabiting partners (M age = 29.67 years, SD = 8.10) reported their daily Relationship Satisfaction, and male partner responses on sexual intercourse days (M = 3.74, SD = 2.47) over 8 weeks. Women also reported their depressive symptoms. Relationship Satisfaction on the preceding day moderated the associations between partner responses and women’s depressive symptoms in several significant ways: (1) On days after women reported higher Relationship Satisfaction than usual, their perception of greater facilitative male partner responses was associated with their decreased depression; (2) on days after women reported lower Relationship Satisfaction than usual, their perception of greater negative male partner responses was associated with their increased depression; (3) on days after men reported higher Relationship Satisfaction than usual, their self-reported higher negative responses were associated with decreased women’s depression, and higher solicitous responses were associated with increased women’s depression, whereas (4) on days after men reported lower Relationship Satisfaction than usual, their self-reported higher negative responses were related to increased women’s depression, and higher solicitous responses were associated with decreased women’s depression. Targeting partner responses and Relationship Satisfaction may enhance the quality of interventions aimed at reducing depression in women with vulvodynia.
