Abstract

Little is known about the individual factors that potentiate communication conflict in romantic relationships. This study examined the main and interactive effects of two types of emotion regulation in 1240 couples enrolled in an online relationship intervention. Results revealed that higher levels of actors' communication conflict were associated with actors' greater negative urgency and lower cognitive reappraisal. Furthermore, actors' cognitive reappraisal acted as an inhibitor of communication conflict, but only for actors with low levels of negative urgency. Partner effects on perceived actor conflict followed a similar pattern. There was no evidence that the emotion regulation of one partner moderated the effect of the emotion regulation of the other. These results highlight the importance of considering the contribution of couples' emotion regulation in the etiology of their communication conflict and selecting interventions that best match their emotion regulation needs.

夫妻沟通冲突中负面紧迫感与认知再评价的相互作用。

人们对导致恋爱关系中沟通冲突的个体因素知之甚少。本研究对参加在线关系干预的 1240 对情侣进行了研究，考察了两种情绪调节方式的主要影响和交互影响。结果显示，行为者沟通冲突水平越高，行为者的负面紧迫感越强，认知再评价越低。此外，行为者的认知再评价对沟通冲突起到了抑制作用，但这只适用于负面紧迫感较低的行为者。合作伙伴对行为主体认知冲突的影响也遵循类似的模式。没有证据表明一方的情绪调节调节了另一方的情绪调节。这些结果凸显了考虑夫妻情绪调节在沟通冲突病因中的作用以及选择最符合夫妻情绪调节需求的干预措施的重要性。
