DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To satisfy felt security goals in a specific relationship, people need to believe that their partner sees qualities in them that merit attention, nurturance, and care. However, people troubled by dispositional insecurities, such as low self-esteem or attachment-related anxiety, underestimate how positively their partner sees them on specific traits and even underestimate how much their partner loves them. This proposal examines how the resulting activation of felt security needs affects newlyweds' capacity to engage in the affective, cognitive, and behavioral regulation strategies critical for continued marital satisfaction. First, the proposal examines how feeling more or less positively regarded affects people's day-to-day threshold for perceiving signs of acceptance or rejection in specific events (appraisal sensitivity), how day-to-day concerns about rejection affect people's self-esteem (self-esteem sensitivity), and how feeling more or less positively regarded affects the behavioral strategies (i.e., interdependence and accommodation regulation) people adopt to alleviate the sting of rejection on a day-to-day basis. Second, the proposal examines how and why these within-person signatures or response profiles change over time, and how they relate to long-term changes in people's impressions of themselves and others, and to the long-term well-being of their marriage. A longitudinal daily diary study of newlywed couples is planned. Both members of the couple will complete 14-day electronic diaries and relationship-functioning assessments for 4 consecutive years. The daily diaries will be designed to provide within-person measures of how much rejection is read into events, within person measures of how much perceived rejections threaten self-esteem, and within-person measures of how each person responds behaviorally to feeling rejected. These micro-process indices will then be used to predict the relationship trajectories couples take, toward increasing, stable, or decreasing individual and relationship well-being. Apart from shedding light on the dynamics of attachment and interdependence regulation, this research might also facilitate the development of clinical interventions, such as fostering insight into a partner's positive regard and unconditional acceptance that might circumvent harmful interaction patterns.

描述(由申请人提供)：为了满足特定关系中的安全感目标，人们需要相信他们的伴侣在他们身上看到了值得关注、培养和关心的品质。然而，受性情不安全感困扰的人，如自尊不足或依恋相关焦虑，会低估伴侣在特定特征上对他们的积极看法，甚至低估伴侣对他们的爱有多深。这项建议考察了由此产生的感觉安全需求的激活如何影响新婚夫妇参与情感、认知和行为调节策略的能力，这些策略对持续的婚姻满意度至关重要。首先，该提案考察了在特定事件中感受到或多或少的正面评价如何影响人们对接受或拒绝迹象的日常感知阈值(评估敏感度)，日常对拒绝的担忧如何影响人们的自尊(自尊敏感度)，以及感受到或多或少的正面评价如何影响人们在日常基础上为缓解拒绝带来的刺痛而采取的行为策略(即相互依赖和适应调节)。其次，该提案审查了如何以及为什么 这些个人签名或回应档案会随着时间的推移而变化，以及它们如何与人们对自己和他人印象的长期变化以及他们婚姻的长期幸福有关。 计划对新婚夫妇进行一项纵向的每日日记研究。这对夫妇将连续4年完成为期14天的电子日记和人际关系功能评估。这些日常日记将被设计成在个人内部衡量事件中被拒绝的程度，在个人内部衡量感知到的拒绝对自尊的威胁程度，以及在个人内部衡量每个人对感觉被拒绝的行为的反应。然后，这些微过程指数将被用来预测夫妻之间的关系轨迹，即个人和关系幸福感的增加、稳定或下降。除了揭示依恋和相互依赖调节的动态，这项研究还可能有助于临床干预措施的发展，例如促进对伴侣的积极态度和无条件接受的洞察，这可能会绕过有害的互动模式。
