本研究的目的是更密切地研究在与约会对象进行潜在冲突诱导对话时，回避和满意度之间的关联。结果表明，人们对自己和伴侣避免冲突的反应取决于他们是男性还是女性。只有女性对伴侣的回避和自己的回避感到不满。此外，虽然寒蝉效应（M。E.罗洛夫公司H. Cloven，1990）对男性和女性都存在，它只影响女性的关系满意度。研究结果还显示，对女性来说，避免冲突和不满之间的联系是双向的。对于男性和女性来说，他们越是不满意地进入谈话，他们在谈话中就越回避。然而，女性的回避也会对他们的关系满意度产生负面影响。最后，这种关联的强度表明，满意度对回避的影响可能比回避对满意度的影响略大。
The purpose of this study was to more closely examine the association between avoidance and satisfaction during a potentially conflict-inducing conversation with one's dating partner. The results suggest that the way people respond to their own and their partner's conflict avoidance depends upon whether they are male or female. The perception of one's partner's avoidance and one's own avoidance were only dissatisfying for women. Moreover, although the chilling effect (M. E. Roloff & D. H. Cloven, 1990) was present for both men and women, it only affected women's relationship satisfaction. The results also revealed that the association between conflict avoidance and dissatisfaction was bidirectional for women. For both men and women, the more dissatisfied they were entering into the conversation, the more they avoided during it. Women's avoidance, however, also negatively influenced their relationship satisfaction. Finally, the strength of the associations suggests that satisfaction may have a slightly stronger impact on avoidance than avoidance has on satisfaction.
