Abstract

Abstract Seeking to understand how emerging adult couples frame unmet needs viewed as a threat to their relationship, we examined narratives in which both partners (12 couples) or only one partner (37 couples) expressed break-up anxiety (BUA). The unmet need of Autonomy was more common in partners with BUA whereas Affiliation was more common in those without it. Overlap in narrating the same unmet needs related to BUA was common when both partners expressed BUA, modest when only the female and low when only the male partner expressed BUA. Female partners were more likely to mention BUA and intimacy problems related to BUA than male partners. Couple interventions that target how to disclose and process BUA may help partners develop more effective intimacy skills and, when need be, skills to end relationships in more adaptive ways.

新成年夫妇讲述的冲突叙事中的分手焦虑

为了理解新兴成年夫妇如何将未满足的需求视为对他们关系的威胁，我们研究了双方(12对夫妇)或只有一方(37对夫妇)表达分手焦虑(BUA)的叙述。未满足的自主性需求在有BUA的合作伙伴中更为常见，而在没有BUA的合作伙伴中则更为常见。当伴侣双方都表达BUA时，在叙述与BUA相关的相同未满足需求时，重叠是常见的，当只有女性表达BUA时，重叠较少，当只有男性表达BUA时，重叠较少。女性伴侣比男性伴侣更有可能提到BUA以及与BUA相关的亲密问题。针对如何披露和处理BUA的夫妻干预可能有助于伴侣发展更有效的亲密技巧，并在需要时，以更适应的方式结束关系的技能。
