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

最近已被证明是关系科学的关键重要性的评估隐性合作伙伴的评价。隐含的合作伙伴评价（即，对伴侣的自发感觉）可以预测后来的关系满意度，自我报告评估）不能这样做（例如，McNynst等人，2013年）。虽然以前的研究表明，纵向影响的内隐合作伙伴的评价关系的幸福感，很少有人知道的关系动态可能会影响变化的内隐合作伙伴的评价，为什么内隐合作伙伴的评价有这样一个强大的影响关系的幸福感随着时间的推移。本提案在三个次级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产生特别影响。第二个子项目评估是否内隐的合作伙伴的评价，通过他们对非言语行为的影响，影响二元过程。最后，第三个子项目评估了具有不同的内隐和外显伴侣评价的后果，一种被称为内隐矛盾的状态（Petty，Tormala，Brinol，& Jarvis，2006），对于个人和关系的幸福感。在两个博士项目中，我们将利用不同的方法（即，大规模的日记研究，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.
