Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined how ongoing relationship maintenance and communal perspectives influence relational load and executive functioning immediately after a stressful conversation in the laboratory in a sample of predominantly white romantic partners. It also explored the aftermath of relational load on partners’ communal perspectives and mental health five consecutive days following the conversation. Receiving greater maintenance from one’s partner before the conversation was associated with increased unity and less conflict, which reduced relational load. This was particularly true for men. Women’s communal perspectives were also associated with better executive functioning for themselves and their partners. Finally, greater relational load diminished feelings of unity and mental health in the days after the laboratory, but the effect on mental health was short-lived.

关系负荷：对浪漫关系中执行功能、心理健康和团结感的影响

摘要本研究以白人为主的浪漫伴侣为样本，研究了在实验室中进行紧张对话后，持续的关系维护和公共视角如何立即影响关系负荷和执行功能。它还探讨了在对话后连续五天，关系负荷对伴侣的公共视角和心理健康的影响。在谈话前从伴侣那里得到更多的维护与增加团结和减少冲突有关，这减少了关系负荷。男性尤其如此。妇女的社区观点也与她们自己和她们的伴侣更好的执行职能联系在一起。最后，在实验室结束后的几天里，更大的关系负荷降低了团结感和心理健康，但对心理健康的影响是短暂的。
