Abstract

This study examined the relationship between perceptions of relational history, namely, past relational challenges, and everyday social interaction experiences. In efforts to build upon and extend previous research, hypotheses directed toward replication and extension were tested in two experience sampling datasets ( N = 120 and 220). Consistent support was found for the idea that people with a history of relational difficulties tend to perceive less interaction partner responsiveness, lower well-being, and higher stress during social interactions. Support was also found in a sample of adults for a multilevel mediation model whereby negative relations with others negatively predicted partner responsiveness through stress and partner liking. Results are interpreted based on affection-, appraisal-, and resource-based theories and potential differences in relational experiences at unique life stages and phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.

过去的关系经历与社会互动：两个样本中关系困难、沟通和感知之间的直接、适度和中介关联

本研究考察了对关系历史的感知，即过去的关系挑战，与日常社会互动体验之间的关系。在努力建立和扩展先前研究的基础上，在两个经验抽样数据集中测试了针对复制和扩展的假设（N = 120和220）。人们一致支持这样一种观点，即有关系困难史的人在社交互动中往往会感觉到互动伙伴的反应更少、幸福感更低和压力更大。在一个成年人样本中也发现了对多层次中介模型的支持，即与他人的负面关系通过压力和伴侣喜好来负面预测伴侣的反应。研究结果基于情感、评价和基于资源的理论以及新冠肺炎大流行独特生命阶段和阶段关系体验的潜在差异进行解释。

期刊介绍： Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with results that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Critieria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organiations, and cultures.
