Abstract

ABSTRACT Affectionate communication may play a key role in how military couples navigate the transition from deployment to reintegration. Informed by relational turbulence theory, this study considered how the trajectory of relational turbulence experienced by military couples over time predicted their verbal and nonverbal expressions of affection. Online self-report data were gathered from 268 U.S. military couples across eight months beginning at homecoming. Relational turbulence increased over time and affectionate communication decreased over time. Also as predicted, the trajectory of increasing relational turbulence corresponded with greater declines in verbal and nonverbal expressions of affection. These results advance relational turbulence theory, illuminate the trajectory of affectionate communication over time, and inform ways to assist military couples upon reunion after deployment.

部署后过渡期间关系动荡和深情交流的轨迹

情感交流可能在军人伴侣从部署到重返社会的过渡过程中发挥着关键作用。在关系动荡理论的指导下，本研究考虑了军人夫妇随着时间的推移所经历的关系动荡轨迹如何预测他们的言语和非言语情感表达。从返校节开始的八个月里，从268对美国军人夫妇那里收集了在线自我报告数据。随着时间的推移，关系的动荡加剧，深情的交流减少。同样正如预测的那样，关系动荡加剧的轨迹与言语和非言语情感表达的大幅下降相对应。这些结果推进了关系湍流理论，阐明了随着时间的推移，深情交流的轨迹，并为帮助军人夫妇在部署后团聚提供了方法。
