Abstract

ABSTRACT This study tested propositions of relational turbulence theory (RTT) from a latent variable mixture modeling perspective. A national sample of married individuals (N = 503) completed a questionnaire measuring RTT relationship parameters, experiences, and outcomes. A latent profile analysis provided support for RTT as (a) marriages were well-separated by relational uncertainty and interdependence parameters, (b) spouses belonging to marriages characterized by higher relational uncertainty and interference (and lower facilitation) experienced more biased cognitive appraisals and intensified negative emotions within the marriage, which in turn, (c) predicted relational turbulence. These results provide support for the specifications and mechanisms purported by RTT and offer an alternative person-centered, rather than traditional variable-centered, approach for testing its axioms and propositions.

婚姻关系动荡理论的混合建模视角

摘要本研究从潜在变量混合建模的角度检验了关系湍流理论(RTT)的命题。全国已婚人士样本(N = 503)完成了一份测量RTT关系参数、经历和结果的问卷调查。潜在剖面分析为RTT提供了支持，因为(A)婚姻被关系不确定性和相互依赖参数分隔得很好，(b)属于关系不确定性和干扰较高(和较低的促进)的婚姻的配偶在婚姻中经历了更多的偏见认知评价和强化的负面情绪，这反过来，(c)预测关系动荡。这些结果为RTT所宣称的规范和机制提供了支持，并为测试其公理和命题提供了另一种以人为中心的方法，而不是传统的以变量为中心的方法。

期刊介绍： Communication Monographs, published in March, June, September & December, reports original, theoretically grounded research dealing with human symbolic exchange across the broad spectrum of interpersonal, group, organizational, cultural and mediated contexts in which such activities occur. The scholarship reflects diverse modes of inquiry and methodologies that bear on the ways in which communication is shaped and functions in human interaction. The journal endeavours to publish the highest quality communication social science manuscripts that are grounded theoretically. The manuscripts aim to expand, qualify or integrate existing theory or additionally advance new theory. The journal is not restricted to particular theoretical or methodological perspectives.
