维持一段关系需要亲密的人成功地驾驭他们与伴侣的日常经历的起起唐斯。亲密的日常全球满意度是严重依赖于这些经验表现出更差的关系结果比亲密的满意度是不太敏感的波动的日常经验。目前的研究调查了亲密关系中的日常经历的反应如何受到他们在关系之外的压力体验的影响。使用日记数据，研究1检查了146对新婚夫妇的配偶日常全球和特定关系评估之间的协方差。受试者之间的分析表明，日常全球满意度与特定的关系经验的看法更强烈的配偶经历更多的压力。研究2采用为期7天的日记，在4年的3个时间点收集了82对夫妇的样本，研究了反应性和压力之间的人内关联。当亲密的人经历比正常压力更大的压力时，他们对日常关系的反应会更强烈。当控制各种个体差异因素对反应性的影响时，所有结果均成立。这些发现强调了适应性关系功能可能受到外部压力的限制。
Maintaining a relationship requires that intimates successfully navigate the ups and downs of their daily experiences with their partners. Intimates whose daily global satisfaction is heavily dependent on these experiences exhibit worse relationship outcomes than do intimates whose satisfaction is less sensitive to fluctuating daily experiences. The current studies examined how intimates' reactivity to daily experiences within the relationship is affected by their experiences of stress outside the relationship. Using diary data, Study 1 examined the covariance between spouses' daily global and specific relationship evaluations in 146 newlywed couples. Between-subjects analyses revealed that daily global satisfaction covaried with perceptions of specific relationship experiences more strongly in spouses experiencing more stress. Study 2 examined the within-person association between reactivity and stress using 7-day diaries collected at 3 time points over 4 years in a sample of 82 couples. Intimates' reactivity to daily relationship experiences was stronger when they were experiencing greater than normal stress. All findings held when controlling for the influence of various individual difference factors on reactivity. These findings highlight ways that adaptive relationship functioning may be constrained by external stress.
