Implicit partner evaluations: How they form and what they do to relationships.

内隐伴侣评价的评估最近被证明是关系科学的关键重要性。当显性评估（即自我报告评估）无法预测以后的关系满意度时，内隐伴侣评估（即对伴侣的自发感觉）可以预测以后的关系满意度（例如，McNulty等人，2013）。虽然以前的研究已经显示了内隐伴侣评价对关系幸福感的纵向影响，但对于哪些关系动态可能影响内隐伴侣评价的变化以及为什么内隐伴侣评价对关系幸福感有如此强烈的影响，人们知之甚少。本建议在三个分项目中处理这些问题。第一个子项目评估哪些关系动态可能对隐性伴侣评价有特殊影响。第二个子项目评估内隐伴侣评价是否通过其对非语言行为的影响来影响二元过程。最后，第三个子项目评估具有不同的内隐和外显伴侣评估的后果，一种称为内隐矛盾心理的状态（Petty, Tormala, Brinol, & Jarvis, 2006），对个人和关系幸福的影响。在两个博士项目中，我们将使用不同的方法（即大规模日记研究，问卷调查，录像互动，实验室实验）来调查这些想法。

The assessment of implicit partner evaluations has been recently shown to be of key importance for relationship science. Implicit partner evaluations (i.e., spontaneous feelings toward one's partner) can predict later relationship satisfaction when explicit evaluations (i.e., self-report evaluations) fail to do so (e.g., McNulty et al., 2013). Although previous research has shown the longitudinal implications of implicit partner evaluations on relationship well-being, little is known about which relationship dynamics are likely to influence changes in implicit partner evaluations and why implicit partner evaluations have such a strong influence on relationship well-being over time. The present proposal addresses these questions in three subprojects. The first subproject assesses which relationship dynamics are likely to have a particular impact on implicit partner evaluations. The second subproject assesses whether implicit partner evaluations affect dyadic processes through their influence on non-verbal behavior. Finally, the third subproject assesses the consequences of having divergent implicit and explicit partner evaluations, a state called implicit ambivalence (Petty, Tormala, Brinol, & Jarvis, 2006), for the individual and the relationship well-being. In two PhD projects, we will make use of diverse methodologies (i.e., large scale diary studies, questionnaires, videotaped interactions, laboratory experiments) to investigate these ideas.
