“…The Social Conflict Scale (“Acted in an unpleasant or angry way towards your partner”; Abbey & Andrews, ) is a five‐item subscale rated on a 5‐point scale ranging from 1 ( not at all) to 5 ( a great deal ). The seven‐item Partner‐Specific Rejecting Behaviors Scale (“I insulted my partner”; Murray, Griffin, Rose, & Bellavia, ) and the five‐item Interpersonal Qualities Scale (Oishi & Sullivan, ) were both rated on a 9‐point scale ranging from 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 9 (s trongly agree ). These measures have demonstrated good internal consistency and criterion validity, and they cohere as a single factor in prior research (Lambe et al, ; Mackinnon et al, ).…”

Partner-specific perfectionistic concerns (PC) include concern over mistakes, self-criticism, and socially prescribed perfectionism as it pertains to one's partner. The social disconnection model proposes that PC influences well-being indirectly through interpersonal problems. Thus, we hypothesized that social negativity (expressed anger, hostility, and rejection) would mediate the relationship between dyadic PC and subjective well-being. Data from 203 romantic dyads (92.1% heterosexual) were collected using self-report surveys and a four-wave, 4-week longitudinal design. Participants were predominantly female (53.1%), young (M = 22.69 years), and Caucasian (82.3%). Data were analyzed using an actor-partner interdependence model with multilevel structural equation modeling. There were significant actor effects at the between-subjects and within-subjects levels, and significant partner effects for the relationship between PC and social negativity at the within-subject level. Social negativity mediated the relationships between PC and both negative affect and life satisfaction. However, positive affect was more weakly related to PC and social negativity. The social disconnection model was supported. PC was positively associated with one's own social negativity and evoked hostile behaviors from one's partner. Hostile, rejecting behaviors reduced the well-being of the actor, but not the partner. Results suggest perfectionism may be best understood within an interpersonal context.

“…In addition, terms, such as ‘relationship satisfaction’ or ‘satisfying relationship’, used in previous research (e.g. Oishi & Sullivan, 2006), conflate two distinct components: one pertaining to attributes of the relationship itself and the other to the satisfaction derived from interactions in that relationship. The manner and extent to which these two components are related cannot be assumed, but require empirical assessment.…”

Relationship closeness, satisfaction in interaction, and popularity in mainland China was investigated using a methodological relational approach, which stresses the bidirectional nature of perceptions and metaperceptions. Two studies were conducted: one involving 164 dyads and the other 20 five-member groups; participants were college students of both sexes who were well acquainted with one another. Major results are: (i) liking perceptions and metaperceptions are predominately relational in nature; (ii) assumed reciprocities are not consistently larger than actual reciprocities; and (iii) directional congruence is modest for closeness, but high for satisfaction and popularity. These results are discussed in terms of methodological relationalism, particularly the construct of directionality.

“…According to self-verification theory, people prefer to interact with others who confirm their self-views, even when those views are negative (see Swann, Rentfrow, & Guinn, 2003 for a review). People also feel more satisfied and stay in relationships longer when they and their partners have similar affective responses to life events (Anderson, Keltner, & John, 2003; Oishi & Sullivan, 2006) or similar interpersonal goals (Sanderson & Evans, 2001). These findings imply that people seek and enjoy social interactions with others who understand their subjective thoughts and feelings.…”

The present research examined whether people feel happier and healthier when they feel more understood in daily social interactions. A two-week diary study showed that people reported greater life satisfaction and fewer physical symptoms on days in which they felt more understood by others. Moreover, we found that individuals who tend to see themselves in relations to others (i.e., women or those scored high on interdependent self-construal measure) showed a stronger association between daily felt understanding and daily life satisfaction or physical symptoms. These findings demonstrate that daily social experiences, such as felt understanding, are associated with daily well-being, particularly for individuals with greater interdependent self-construal.
