Abstract

According to relational turbulence theory, interdependent partners exert influence in their romantic relationships through the interference and facilitation of daily routines. Programmatic scholarship consistently reveals that interference is associated positively, whereas facilitation is associated negatively, with relational turbulence in romantic relationships. However, as behavioral manifestations of interdependence that may co-occur, there is a possibility that enough facilitation from a partner might offset the effect of interference on relational turbulence. This study of romantic partners (N = 475) revealed moderated interdependence insofar as the effect of partner interference on relational turbulence was buffered by partner facilitation. This moderated effect further informed a theoretical model predicting the perceived likelihood of marriage. Thus, in relationships where daily routines are disrupted often, balancing facilitation with interference may mitigate chaotic relational states.

伴侣相互依赖对关系动荡的调节作用

根据关系动荡理论，相互依存的伴侣通过日常生活的干扰和便利，在他们的浪漫关系中发挥影响。程序研究一贯表明，在浪漫关系中，干扰与关系动荡呈正相关，而促进与关系动荡呈负相关。然而，作为相互依存的行为表现，伴侣的足够便利可能会抵消干扰对关系动荡的影响。这项对浪漫伴侣（N=475）的研究揭示了适度的相互依赖性，因为伴侣干预对关系动荡的影响是通过伴侣促进来缓冲的。这种缓和效应进一步为预测婚姻可能性的理论模型提供了依据。因此，在日常生活经常被打乱的关系中，平衡便利和干扰可以缓解混乱的关系状态。
