This book was released on 2015 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite many recommendations to assess the role of the social exchange theory and the interdependence theory in long-distance relationships, few researchers have investigated if the roles of satisfaction, alternatives, and investments in a relationship influence commitment differently for individuals in long-distance relationships compared to individuals in geographically close relationships. I hypothesized that trust, desire for frequent sex, satisfaction, alternatives, and investment in the relationship have unique predictive relationships on commitment depending on relationship proximity and gender. In two studies, I first tested prior research investigating the role of negative affect on relationship commitment. I extended this research and found that a preference for frequent sex and trust for one's partner were substantially better predictors of relationship commitment compared to negative affect and components of relational security. In Study 2, I developed a model to predict commitment using satisfaction, quality of alternatives, relationship investments, preference for frequent sex, and trust. This model was tested between men and women in geographically close and long-distance relationships and revealed significantly different predictive relations between the conditions. Specifically, satisfaction and trust predicted commitment differently between the models for women in both geographically close and long-distance relationships and men in geographically close relationships. Men in long-distance relationships required a separate model where the quality of alternatives did not predict relationship commitment and a preference for frequent sex mediated trust and commitment.
Download or read book Maintaining Long Distance and Cross Residential Relationships written by Laura Stafford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-12-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking volume offers an innovative and intriguing approach to the study of long-distance relationships. Author Laura Stafford examines romantic long-distance relationships and then expands the conception of long-distance relationships to include other relational types. She summarizes literature across the social sciences on various types of long-distance relationships and extracts themes and patterns across the relational types. In so doing, she reconsiders approaches to and offers an expanded vision of relational maintenance. By expanding her scope beyond romantic relationships, Stafford includes those that span residences and relational types, such as noncustodial parent-child and geographically and residentially separated adult children and parents. She contends that face-to-face interaction is not necessary to maintain healthy relationships, and questions the assumption that maintaining, rather than terminating, a particular relationship is always best for the involved parties. With its interdisciplinary approach to challenging commonly held assumptions about communication and close relationships, Maintaining Long-Distance and Cross-Residential Relationships will be engaging reading for scholars in communication, psychology, sociology, mass communication, and family studies. It is also appropriate for special topics graduate courses on long-distance relationships and human communication, and will serve as a unique supplemental text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in interpersonal, relational, and family communication and family studies.
Download or read book To Promote Or Prevent when Near Or Far written by Adam J. Hampton and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No research to date has examined how regulatory focus theory applies to relationships that are maintained long-distance, nor if individuals' regulatory orientations differ in predicting relationship maintenance efforts between relationships that are geographically-close and those that are long-distance. The current study explores the communication efforts, ideal perceptions, and regulatory behaviors of individuals as a function of their regulatory focus (promotion focus vs. prevention focus) and relationship type (geographically-close vs. long-distance). One hundred eighty participants completed a survey that assessed their relationship type, regulatory focus, and relationship maintenance efforts (i.e., communications, perceptions, and behavior). Overall, it was found that individuals in long-distance relationships, compared to individuals in geographically-close relationships, engage in more frequent communication efforts, more self-idealized perceptions, and less self-regulation behaviors. Regarding regulatory orientations, those with a high degree of promotion focus, compared to those with a low degree of promotion focus, reported more intimate communication, more idealized perceptions of their partners and themselves, and less behavioral regulation of their partners and themselves. Alternatively, those with a high degree of prevention focus, compares to those with a low degree of prevention focus, reported less frequent communication, less partner-idealized perceptions, and more behavioral regulation of their partners and themselves. While regulatory orientations did not differ as a function of relationship type, implications are discussed pertaining to how the rapid evolution of communication technology has changed the way in which individuals maintain their relationship.

Download or read book Attachment Self disclosure Gossip and Idealization as Predictors of Satisfaction in Geographically Close and Long Distance Romantic Relationships written by Ji-yeon Lee and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examines geographically close (GCRs) and long distance (LDRs) romantic relationships, and the contribution of attachment style, self-disclosure, gossip, and idealization to explaining romantic relationship satisfaction, for each relational type. Therefore, the overarching hypothesis was that that the GCR and LDR explanatory models would be non-equivalent. The sub-hypotheses were: First, higher attachment security will predict (a) higher self-disclosure, (b)lower GCR and higher LDR gossip, (c) lower idealization, and (d) higher satisfaction. Second, higher gossip and lower self-disclosure will predict higher idealization. Third, lower GCR and higher LDR idealization will predict higher satisfaction. Thus, I expected GCR and LDR satisfaction to be mediated differently by gossip, self-disclosure, and idealization. College student participants (N = 539) completed a web survey. The instruments, widely used in research, included: (a) demographic information; (b) the Experience in Close Relationship Scale-Short Form (ECR-S; Wei, Russell, Mallinckrodt, & Vogel, 2007); (c) the Tendency to Gossip Questionnaire (TGQ, Nevo et al., 1993); (d) the self-disclosure scale, designed for this study; (e) the Idealistic Distortion Scale (IDS; Olson, 2005); and (f) the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976). A Structural Equation Modeling multigroup analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The hypotheses were mostly supported. First, the results indicated that higher attachment security was significantly associated with (a) higher GCR and LDR self-disclosure, (b) lower LDR gossip, (c) higher GCR and LDR idealization, and (d) higher GCR and LDR relationship satisfaction. Second, lower GCR and higher LDR self-disclosure were associated with higher idealization, with gossip not significantly associated with idealization. Third, higher GCR and LDR idealization were associated with higher relationship satisfaction. As for the overarching hypothesis, the results indicated that the GCR and LDR models were non-equivalent, as expected; relationship satisfaction was mediated differently in GCRs than LDRs. In summary, the results imply that (a) attachment is a strong predictor of relationship satisfaction regardless of a couple's geographic distance, and (b) how couples communicate with each other is more important in LDR relational type. I also discuss implications, limitations, and areas for future research."--Leaves viii-ix.

Download or read book Maintaining Relationships Through Communication written by Daniel J. Canary and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational maintenance provides a rallying point for those seeking to discover the behaviors that individuals utilize to sustain their personal relationships. Theoretical models, research programs, and specific studies have examined how people in a variety of close relationships choose to define and maintain those relationships. In addition, relational maintenance turns our attention to communicative processes that help people sustain their close relationships. In this collection, editors Daniel J. Canary and Marianne Dainton focus on the communicative processes critical to the maintenance and enhancement of personal relationships. The volume considers variations in maintaining different types of personal relationships; structural constraints on relationship maintenance; and cultural variations in relational maintenance. Contributions to the volume cover a broad range of relational types, including romantic relationships, family relationships, long-distance relationships, workplace relationships, and Gay and Lesbian relationships, among others. Maintaining Relationships Through Communication: Relational, Contextual, and Cultural Variations synthesizes current research in relationship maintenance, emphasizes the ways that behaviors vary in their maintenance functions across relational contexts, discusses alternative explanations for maintaining relationships, and presents avenues for future research. As such, it is intended for students and scholars studying interpersonal communication and personal relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a best friend? If so, you probably share the same race and social status. Why is this so? Does social structure determine your choice of friends? Or do other factors cause you to choose friends? Co-authors Blieszner and Adams explore these issues and offer a theoretical framework which incorporates both sociological and psychological perspectives on friendship. They use this model to synthesize the research theoretically, identify gaps in the literature, scrutinize the methods used, and produce a map for future research. Adult Friendship also covers historical conceptions of friendship, the internal structure of friendship, and the phases of friendship. Clearly written yet scholarly, Adult Friendship is perfect for students, researchers and professionals in psychology, sociology, communication, gerontology, family studies and social work. "The analysis is ably argued, identifying the contributions to and gaps in the field and challenging others to give attention to the theoretical and methodological issues in the emerging research on adult friendship." --Contemporary Sociology "Adult Friendship is a noteworthy publication in the emerging area of the study of personal relationships. . . . A useful synthesis of theory and research on close relationships over the life cycle. . . . suitable for students and others wanting an introduction to the topic, yet also gives professionals more knowledgeable with this literature a fresh, distinctive perspective on it. . . .Blieszner and Adams′ chapters are concise and internally well organized. . . . a worthwhile read for researchers, students, practitioners, and laypersons concerned with the study of friendship across the life span." --Journal of Marriage & The Family "This volume is an important addition to the useful Sage Series on Close Relationships. It treats a topic that has been too frequently ignored in the area of close relationship research. . . . The coverage of the literature in this volume is especially good due to the tight organizational scheme that facilitates summaries of many different findings. . . . In sum, there is no doubt that both researchers and students will find this volume to be extremely useful. This is a well-organized and comprehensive book that provides a concise summary of research on adult friendship, both from sociological and psychological perspectives. Significant gaps in the literature are identified and methodological criticisms are raised. Finally, the authors provide clear guideposts for future research on a topic that has often received too little attention in the area of close relationships." --ISSPR Bulletin
