Abstract

Abstract Relational turbulence theory (RTT) proposes causal relationships across cognitive, emotional and communicative variables. Although many tenets of this theory have been tested individually, there has not yet been a comprehensive, predictive examination of RTT. Using structural equation modelling, this study longitudinally tested several propositions and axioms of RTT. Results are largely in line with many of RTT's predictions. Time 1 relational uncertainty predicted time 2 biased cognitions. Time 1 facilitation from a partner predicted time 2 negative emotions. Negative emotions cross-sectionally related to both the enactment and valence of relational communication episodes. Relational turbulence theory's proposed feedback loop received partial support, such that time 1 communication valence (but not engagement) predicted time 2 partner uncertainty, relationship uncertainty and partner facilitation. Results are discussed in terms of theory expansion and refinement.

关系湍流理论的纵向检验

摘要关系动荡理论（RTT）提出了认知、情感和交际变量之间的因果关系。尽管这一理论的许多原理已经单独测试过，但还没有对RTT进行全面的预测性检验。利用结构方程模型，本研究对RTT的几个命题和公理进行了纵向检验。结果与RTT的许多预测基本一致。时间1关系不确定性预测时间2偏见认知。时间1来自伴侣的帮助预测了时间2的负面情绪。消极情绪与关系沟通事件的发生和效价都有交叉关系。关系湍流理论提出的反馈回路得到了部分支持，即时间1的沟通效价（但不是参与度）预测了时间2的伙伴不确定性、关系不确定性和伙伴便利化。从理论扩展和细化的角度对结果进行了讨论。

期刊介绍： This innovative journal provides researchers and practitioners with access to quality, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed articles covering the entire range of fields associated with personal, intimate, organizational and family, and social relationships, development, training and analysis of human relationship skills across the life-span. Originally an initiative of the Psychology of Relationships Interest Group of the Australian Psychological Society, the journal became independent within its first year with the intention of publishing papers from the full array of researchers of relationship. The journal features an experienced and eclectic international Editorial Board and is international in its reach. There is a special emphasis on contributions from Asia, including the subcontinent and Pacific regions but the journal welcomes papers from all other parts of the world.
