Abstract

ABSTRACT Sex is a crucial factor that impacts the quality and stability of relationships, yet many couples report recurrent sexual issues – such as discrepancies in their desired sexual frequency or levels of sexual desire – that detract from their relationship quality. This article describes how applying the theory of communal motivation from relationship science to the sexual domain of relationships can shed light onto understanding how couples can maintain desire over time, remain satisfied in the face of conflicting sexual interests, and decline one another’s sexual advances in ways that protect their relationship. We integrate a decade of research on communal motivation, sexual rejection, and responses to sexual rejection to provide a better, and more holistic, understanding of how partners can successfully balance their sexual needs to ultimately reap the powerful rewards of a fulfiling sexual connection.

浪漫关系中性需求反应的共同方法

摘要性是影响关系质量和稳定性的一个关键因素，但许多夫妇报告称，反复出现的性问题——比如他们想要的性频率或性欲水平的差异——会降低他们的关系质量。这篇文章描述了将关系科学中的共同动机理论应用于关系的性领域，可以帮助理解夫妻如何随着时间的推移保持欲望，在性利益冲突时保持满足，并以保护关系的方式拒绝彼此的性进展。我们整合了十年来关于共同动机、性排斥和对性排斥的反应的研究，以更好、更全面地了解伴侣如何成功平衡他们的性需求，从而最终获得圆满的性关系带来的强大回报。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
