双方承诺的差异被强调为关系不稳定的一个关键因素。我们测试了多种类型的承诺不对称（伴侣之间在一个时间点的差异）和异步（随着时间的推移承诺进展的差异）对关系满意度和分手的贡献。在为期数月（研究1）、数天（研究2）和数年（研究3）的三项研究中（N= 6960对夫妇），在控制个人及其伴侣的承诺时，承诺不对称和不同步始终不能预测满意度或分手。只有一个人自己的承诺和承诺下降的比例（报告比前一个时间点的承诺更低）一致地预测满意度。女性（而不是男性）的承诺和经济衰退的比例与分手（分别为负相关和正相关）。因此，与之前的一些重要发现相反，承诺不对称和不同步并不能预示未来的关系结果。我们的研究结果对承诺的理论模型和夫妻关系中的实际问题具有重要的意义。
Discrepancies in partners’ commitment have been emphasized as a key factor involved in relationship instability. We tested the contributions of multiple types ofcommitment asymmetry(discrepancies between partners at one time point) andasynchrony(discrepancies in the progression of commitment over time) to relationship satisfaction and break‐up. In three studies (N= 6960 couples) spanning months (Study 1), days (Study 2) and years (Study 3), commitment asymmetry and asynchrony consistently didnotpredict satisfaction or break‐up when controlling for individuals and their partners’ commitment. Only one's own commitment and proportion of downturns in commitment (reporting lower commitment than the previous time point) consistently predicted satisfaction. Women's (but not men's) commitment and proportion of downturns were associated (negatively and positively, respectively) with break‐up. Thus, contrary to some significant previous findings, commitment asymmetry and asynchrony are not indicative of future relationship outcomes. Our findings have important implications for theoretical models of commitment and couples’ practical issues in relationships over time.
