ObjectivesThis study developed and pilot‐tested an adaptation of Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) to target two aspects of relational flexibility in couples: the ability to generate alternative perspectives, and the ability to respond nondefensively when alternative partner perspectives are raised within challenging relationship situations (referred to as flexibility in partner perspectives).MethodsCBM‐FlexC training materials were developed in Phase 1, and expert users (N= 4) and end‐point users (N= 7) provided qualitative feedback. Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of CBM‐FlexC were evaluated in Phase 2, using an online sample of distressed couples (N= 18). Using a multiple baseline design, participants completed three baseline assessments, six CBM‐FlexC sessions over 2 weeks, and a 1‐month follow‐up.ResultsCBM‐FlexC training resulted in greater flexibility in partner perspectives, relationship satisfaction, and general psychological flexibility compared to baseline, and improvements were maintained 1‐month after training when using mixed‐effects models. However, analyses of reliable change (based on graphical inspection and the Reliable Change Index) indicated that most participants did not experience reliable improvement in flexibility in partner perspectives, or relationship satisfaction.ConclusionThis pilot study provides some positive signals regarding the potential efficacy of CBM‐FlexC, while pointing to the need for further development to strengthen its effects.
