“…Individuals constantly read signs from their partners to check on the status of intimacy in their relationship (Katz, 1976)) presumably comparing their present status with respect to an ideal standard for a relationship (Wayment & Campbell, 2000). How individuals perceive a relationship is strongly related to how they feel about the relationship and how they behave (Fincham, Beach, & Nelson, 1987;Creamer & Campbell, 1988). Similarly, individuals try to maintain a balance around their desired intimacy, depending on how much they perceive and desire (Argyle & Dean, 1965;Patterson, 1976).…”

This article presents a model of why individuals experience the feeling of passionate love in intimate relationships. Previous models have been limited because they do not describe the purpose and function of passionate love, do not incorporate basic emotion and personality theory, or are not applicable to help couples in distress. The present model reinterprets and integrates previous findings. New predictions are made about the functioning of passionate love in relationships by hypothesizing a self-regulating, intimacy-seeking system that produces passionate love as its outcome. A self-regulation model proposed by Carver and Scheier in 1998 is the template on which this model is based.

“…Perceptions of the friend's LofC were found to predict friendship satisfaction for women. Previous research indicates that actual similarities in personality traits are related to friendship (e.g., Rosenfeld & Jackson, 1965;Tsuzuki & Matsui, 2000) and marital satisfaction (e.g., Creamer & Campbell, 1988;Richard, Wakefield, & Lewak, 1990). This actual similarity-attraction relation, however, depends on perceptions of similarity (Hoyle, 1993) and considerable discrepancies exist between self and peer ratings of attitudes, values, beliefs, and personality (e.g., Robbins & John, 1997).…”

Two studies examined perceptions of locus of control (LofC) and friendship satisfaction. Study 1 tested the accuracy of college students’ perceptions of a friend's LofC and their friendship satisfaction. Participants perceived their friends to be similar to themselves on LofC and satisfaction but these perceptions did not match the friends’ self–ratings. Instead, the perceptions reflected a belief in the similarity to the self—the Attraction–Similarity Hypothesis. Study 2 tested whether own and perceived friend's LofC predicted own satisfaction. The Internality Hypothesis indicates that an external LofC would predict dissatisfaction but an internal LofC would predict satisfaction. It was also predicted that these effects would be stronger for women's friendships than for men's friendships. For female, but not male, friendships, perceptions of the friend's external LofC predicted dissatisfaction.

“…Regarding the QCR, Tharp (1963, as cited in Ryle & Breen, 1972a), Cook and Jones (2002) using the Identity Style Inventory (ISI; Berzonsky, 1989, as cited in Cook & Jones, 2002), and other studies using other measures (Creamer & Campbell, 1988;Gaunt, 2006) found that greater similarity between partners' self-concepts was associated with higher levels of marital satisfaction.…”

In the study of human relationships, interest in interpersonal construction is increasing because of its implications for the quality of the couple's relationship. The processes involved in construing self and others may play a key role. However, a precise methodology to study those processes has not yet been developed. The aim of this article is to present a dyadic assessment tool, the couple's grid (CG), which is inspired from constructivist and systemic perspectives. Derived from Procter's (1985) family grid, the CG is similarly based on the repertory grid technique. The CG assesses perception of self and partner, and their ideals, and also the metaperception of the partner's view (e.g., "What does your partner think about you?"). These two levels of analysis provide measures of perceived similarity, commonality, and sociality. This article describes the development of CG as an assessment tool with a case illustration.In the study of human relationships, interest in interpersonal construing processes has increased due to their centrality in the origin and maintenance of psychological disorders. Therapeutic interventions with couples and families, rather than individuals, are receiving more attention and are considered to improve the prognosis of both personal and relational difficulties. Clinical research in this area focuses on aspects of communication and the way individuals perceive others in order to have a better understanding of the cognitive processes of adjusted couples
