作者假设了一个自我实现的预言，其中被拒绝的预期导致人们的行为方式引起他们的约会伴侣的拒绝。这一假设在两项关于夫妻冲突的研究中得到了验证：（a）一项纵向实地研究，其中夫妻提供了每日日记报告;（B）一项涉及行为观察的实验室研究。实地研究的结果表明，高拒绝敏感度（HRS）的人的关系比低拒绝敏感度（LRS）的人更容易破裂。冲突过程，有助于关系侵蚀揭示了HRS女性，但不是HRS男性。自然发生的关系冲突后，HRS妇女的合作伙伴更拒绝比LRS妇女的合作伙伴。实验室研究表明，HRS女性在冲突讨论中的消极行为有助于解释她们的伴侣在冲突后更拒绝回应。
The authors hypothesized a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein rejection expectancies lead people to behave in ways that elicit rejection from their dating partners. The hypothesis was tested in 2 studies of conflict in couples: (a) a longitudinal field study where couples provided daily-diary reports and (b) a lab study involving behavioral observations. Results from the field study showed that high rejection-sensitive (HRS) people's relationships were more likely to break up than those of low rejection-sensitive (LRS) people. Conflict processes that contribute to relationship erosion were revealed for HRS women but not for HRS men. Following naturally occurring relationship conflicts, HRS women's partners were more rejecting than were LRS women's partners. The lab study showed that HRS women's negative behavior during conflictual discussions helped explain their partners' more rejecting postconflict responses.
