“…Sharing positive experiences in couples is named capitalization, which is a strong predictor of positive relationship quality. Capitalization allows to capitalize the benefit of positive experiences by sharing them and fostering positive social exchange processes with the partner that have been associated with a number of positive relationship outcomes (Peters et al, 2018). In general, even substantive conversations as opposed to small talk have been shown to be related to life satisfaction in daily life—a finding that has been replicated in big ecologically valid samplings in real life (Milek et al, 2018).…”

Couples Adjusting to Multimorbidity: A Dyadic Study on Disclosure and Adjustment Disorder Symptoms

et al. 2019

BackgroundMultimorbidity is challenging not only for the patient but also for the romantic partner. Strategies for interpersonal emotion regulation like disclosing to the partner are supposed to play a major role in the psychosocial adjustment to multimorbidity. Research has often focused on disease-related disclosure, even though disclosing thoughts and feelings related to mundane, everyday life occurrences might also play a role in coadjustment. The current dyadic study aimed at investigating the association between these two types of interpersonal regulation strategies and adjustment disorder symptoms, following the new ICD 11 criteria in multimorbid patients and their partners.MethodsShortly after being hospitalized due to an acute health crisis, N = 28 multimorbid patients (average age 70 years) and their partners filled in questionnaires on disclosure in the couple, adjustment disorder criteria of the ICD 11 (“preoccupation,” “failure to adapt”), and sleep problems.ResultsBoth patients and their partners did show similarly high levels of preoccupation and failure to adapt indicating adjustment problems to the complex health situation. The adjustment symptoms of both partners correlated between r = 0.22 and 0.45. Regression based on Actor-Partner Interdependence-Models revealed that own mundane disclosure was related to less adjustment symptoms in the patients. Beyond that, a partner effect was observed, revealing a negative association between partners’ illness-related disclosure and the patients’ level of preoccupation. For the partners, mundane disclosure of the partner was associated with less preoccupation, failure to adapt, and reported sleep problems above and beyond own disclosure reports. Furthermore, there was an actor effect of disease-related disclosure on less sleep problems for the partners.ConclusionThese results support an interpersonal view on adjustment processes to physical disease. Disclosure as a way of regulating the relationship and emotional responses might play a relevant role here, which seems to be different for patients and their partners. Further research is needed to shed more light on the differential role of disease-related and mundane everyday disclosure for psychosocial adjustment in couples confronted with health challenges.

“…Regardless of the medium used, people experienced increased positive affect after sharing positive events, and increased negative affect after sharing negative events [15]. Thus, sharing a positive experience was found a source of enhancement of positive affect, a process called 'capitalization' [17,18,19 ].…”

“…Positive emotional episodes were conceived as opportunities on which to 'capitalize', by letting others know about the event and thus getting another opportunity to enhance one's positive affect [17]. Distinct and independent from social support, capitalization is an iterative process associated with an enhancement of positive affect far beyond the benefits of the positive events themselves [18,19 ]. Its regular practice is positively correlated (among others) with subjective well-being, life satisfaction and self-esteem [19 ].…”

Emotional experiences trigger the social sharing of emotion. This disclosure of emotional facts and feelings to the social surrounding was generally considered as a simple process of emotional release. The empirical data reviewed in this article invalidate this simplistic view. They show that the social sharing of emotions is a complex process that results not only in intrapersonal effects for the source person, but also in important interpersonal and social outcomes. The intrapersonal effects of the social sharing of emotions are varied, they do not necessarily go together, and they respond to specific conditions. At the interpersonal level, both the sharing of positive and negative emotional episodes affects relationships with the audience. Finally, the research highlights broader social effects relating to social structure, social norms, group action, beliefs, collective resilience, and intergroup relations.

Gotong royong is an original term from Indonesia which means cooperation among society members. Gotong royong is the culture value of the Nusantara (before the establishment of the Indonesian country) since the Neolithic era from 6000 BC, the core of Pancasila (the ideology of the Indonesian country), and plays a role in the government, public and private sectors. There have been many studies of gotong royong in the government and society sectors. But it is still rarely done in the private sector, especially in organizations. This study is a literature study by using various references from books and journals, both printed and online. The theory that is used to study gotong royong in this study is the Social Psychology theories. Those are need-to-belong theory, interdependence theory, communal theory, cooperation theory, and collectivism theory. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for further empirical studies so that later it can obtain a gotong royong picture in organizations both theoretically and empirically.. 1
