“…In a next step, the adolescent reports and mother reports of overprotection were standardized, making use of pooled standard deviations across the two informants (cf. Weidmann, Schönbrodt, Ledermann & Grob, 2017). By doing so, the two predictors have the same scale midpoint and are commensurate (i.e., they are measured on the same scale; Edwards, 2002), which is important for the interpretation of the results.…”

“…In a sample of German adult romantic partners, researchers collected data on the BFM domains and relationship satisfaction at baseline and two years later. Using correlations and actor–partner interdependence regression modeling, they found that only higher Agreeableness was longitudinally related to higher levels of own relationship satisfaction (Weidmann, Schönbrodt, Ledermann, & Grob, ). Caughlin, Huston, and Houts () reported significant direct effects in a path model between trait anxiety (i.e., Neuroticism) measured in the newlywed phase and partner's subsequent relationship satisfaction.…”

Objective The Big Five Model (BFM) of personality domains is significantly related to romantic relationship outcomes, particularly marital satisfaction. Few studies to date, however, have examined the BFM domains and relationship outcomes longitudinally. Method We used latent growth curve modeling to estimate the initial levels (intercept) and the rate of change (slope) in the BFM domains and marital satisfaction and determine if change in one construct was associated with change in the other. All available data were retained from participants who remained married to the same individual, as well as early waves for participants who divorced or were widowed, in the Midlife in the United States study (N = 1,965). We expected negative associations between (a) intercepts of Neuroticism and relationship satisfaction and (b) the intercept/slope of Neuroticism with change in marital satisfaction. The other BFM domains were expected to have positive effects on change in satisfaction. Results The results suggested that change over time in Neuroticism and Conscientiousness is detrimental to satisfaction, while initial levels of Conscientiousness may predict declining marital satisfaction. Conclusions Changes in Neuroticism accompany parallel changes in relationship satisfaction in a large sample of married U.S. adults, suggesting an ongoing bidirectional influence between these constructs in enduring marriages.

“…Power was estimated by a program developed by Ackerman and Kenny (2016), which was designed to determine the sample size needed to detect small and moderate effects for APIM. We used this program similarly to previous longitudinal studies in couples (van Scheppingen, Chopik, Bleidorn, & Denissen, 2018;Weidmann, Sch€ onbrodt, Ledermann, & Grob, 2017), as no other existing tool was specifically designed for estimating the statistical power in dyadic growth models, to the best of our knowledge. Following recommendations by Ackerman and Kenny (2016), and based on previous research (Mizrahi, Kanat-Maymon, & Birnbaum, 2018), we expected actor effects to be medium in size (i.e., b~.25), and partner effects to be smaller (i.e., b~.15).…”

When insecurity dampens desire: Attachment anxiety in men amplifies the decline in sexual desire during the early years of romantic relationships

Sexual desire is typically high during early relationship stages and decreases gradually over time. In the present research, we adopted an attachment‐theoretical perspective to investigate why sexual desire for romantic partners erodes more rapidly for some people than others. We employed two samples of developing relationships (dating couples, N = 62; and newlyweds, N = 175) and examined the effects of attachment insecurities on sexual desire in prospective longitudinal designs. Results showed that attachment anxiety moderated the trajectory of men's sexual desire, such that over time, highly anxious men declined in desiring their partner, whereas less anxious men's desire did not drop. Attachment avoidance also predicted lower levels of initial desire in both sexes. These findings suggest that avoidance generally interferes with relationship initiation for both sexes, whereas anxiety in men interferes with the maintenance of desire over time, possibly because of sensitivity to increasing interdependence.
