RUI Mechanisms Link Conflict Sleep

项目摘要

Among adults who co-sleep with a partner, the quality of their sleep is strongly related to the amount of conflict in their relationships. People report worse sleep after conflict and more conflict after poor sleep. However, little is known about why poor sleep and interpersonal conflict are related or what factors might increase or decrease the connection. Both interpersonal conflict and poor sleep are associated with chronic stress, reduced immune function, shorter lifespan, and lower life satisfaction. They also impose staggering social and economic burdens, costing the nation hundreds of billions of dollars every year and negatively impacting the development of children exposed to parental conflict. Understanding what drives links between conflict and sleep is necessary to reduce these tolls. This research will examine behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and psychophysiological pathways through which sleep and conflict are related over time. It will also test whether poor self-regulation (difficulty adjusting behavior, emotions, and thoughts in response to environmental demands) renders some people more vulnerable to negative links between conflict and sleep. The discovery of how specific relationship processes can promote sleep quality and how aspects of sleep quality can reduce conflict severity and frequency could inform intervention strategies for therapists working with distressed couples. The discovery that self-regulation (a resource that can be strengthened through training and practice) can protect people from these negative effects would advance intervention and prevention, ultimately impacting public health, the economy, and child development.This multi-method longitudinal study of 200 couples will investigate how observed and self-reported features of conflict are associated with fluctuations in objective and subjective measures of sleep quality over time. The study has three objectives. The first is to determine how partners' behavioral, emotional, and physiological stress responses to a lab-based conflict are associated with their own and each other's typical sleep quality. The second is to determine the direction of links between specific features of conflict and sleep over time, using cross-lagged analysis of dyadic daily diary and sleep assessments collected at home over 14 days. The third objective is to determine whether developmentally organized markers of self-regulation (attachment, heart rate variability, rumination, and post-conflict recovery behavior) moderate links between conflict and sleep over time. This study will contribute to science by advancing a theoretically-derived model of individual differences in interpersonal stress reactivity and regulation that affect behavior in two critically important social contexts. Additionally, this project will provide training for the next generation of STEM scientists by engaging diverse undergraduate women in mentored research and discovery.

在与伴侣共睡的成年人中，他们的睡眠质量与他们关系中的冲突量密切相关。人们报告说，冲突后睡眠更差，睡眠不好后冲突更多。然而，很少有人知道为什么睡眠不好和人际冲突有关，或者什么因素可能会增加或减少这种联系。人际冲突和睡眠不足都与慢性压力、免疫功能下降、寿命缩短和生活满意度降低有关。它们还造成了惊人的社会和经济负担，每年使国家损失数千亿美元，并对面临父母冲突的儿童的发展产生不利影响。了解冲突和睡眠之间的联系是什么，对于减少这些损失是必要的。这项研究将检查行为，情绪，认知和心理生理途径，通过这些途径，睡眠和冲突随着时间的推移而相关。它还将测试不良的自我调节（难以根据环境要求调整行为，情绪和思想）是否会使一些人更容易受到冲突和睡眠之间的负面联系的影响。特定关系过程如何促进睡眠质量以及睡眠质量的各个方面如何降低冲突的严重程度和频率的发现可以为治疗抑郁夫妇的治疗师提供干预策略。发现自我调节（一种可以通过培训和实践加强的资源）可以保护人们免受这些负面影响，这将促进干预和预防，最终影响公共卫生，经济，这项对200对夫妇进行的多方法纵向研究将调查观察和自我报告的冲突特征与睡眠质量的客观和主观测量随时间的波动有关。这项研究有三个目标。首先是确定伴侣对实验室冲突的行为，情绪和生理压力反应如何与他们自己和彼此的典型睡眠质量相关。第二个是确定随着时间的推移，冲突和睡眠的具体功能之间的联系的方向，使用交叉滞后分析的二元每日日记和睡眠评估收集在家里超过14天。第三个目标是确定是否发展组织标记的自我调节（附件，心率变异性，反刍，和冲突后恢复行为）适度之间的联系冲突和睡眠随着时间的推移。这项研究将有助于科学，通过推进一个理论推导的模型，在人际压力反应和调节，影响行为在两个至关重要的社会背景下的个体差异。此外，该项目将通过让不同的本科女性参与指导研究和发现，为下一代STEM科学家提供培训。
