This thesis focuses on mapping the action of the multimedia technologies (MMT) on selected aspects of the partner relationship. In the theoretical part the particular components of the relationship (relationship satisfaction, trust, communication and leisure time) and their association with the usage of particular media by partners are described. For the research the mixed methods design was chosen, while in the quantitative part online questionnaire was used, which was filled in by 210 respondents. In the qualitative part semi-structured interviews with three couples were made. The outcome of this thesis is a description of the frequency and ways of using MMT, mapping effects on the relationship and overall evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of using MMT for the relationship. The results showed that partners mainly use MMT to contact the other partner, mainly to express love. Mostly they use chat to contact each other, then phone calls and text messages. As a disadvantage of the mediated communication partners perceive the absence of nonverbal communication and presence of misunderstanding. To sum it up, the positive effects on the relationship are: frequent contact with partner, use of MMT to express love to partner, full attention from partner without use of MMT, use of MMT for spending...

Understanding how intimate relationships influence physical health has been an important topic of focus; however, research remains unclear on the mechanisms through which this influence occurs. The purpose of this study was to examine how relationship satisfaction relates to diet quality, through mental health (depression and anxiety) and diet self-efficacy. Using a dyadic mediation model with a sample of 234 heterosexual couples, researchers found that women's higher relationship satisfaction was associated with better diet through lower depression and higher diet self-efficacy. Results revealed the same association between women's relationship satisfaction and diet through lower anxiety. Interestingly, rather than mediation through mental health, the association between men's relationship satisfaction and diet was mediated through their partners' diet self-efficacy. This presentation will review the gendered pathways by which relationship satisfaction influences diet in heterosexual couples and discuss the important implications of these findings for tracing how intimate relationships affect overall well-being.

Les résultats de la recherche portant sur les impacts de la jalousie dans les relations de couple sont mixtes et ne nous permettent pas d’en connaître son impact sur le désengagement romantique, ou la perte de sentiments amoureux, qui est un problème fréquemment mentionné par les couples qui consultent en thérapie conjugale. Par le biais d’un devis longitudinal et dyadique, cette étude a examiné l’association entre la jalousie et le désengagement romantique, en tenant compte de la satisfaction relationnelle à titre de facteur modérateur. Concernant les effets acteurs, vu l’état actuel de la recherche portant sur l’effet de la jalousie sur différentes variables relationnelles, aucune hypothèse n’a été émise concernant la direction de l’association entre les trois composantes de la jalousie et les changements dans le désengagement romantique chez l’individu 9 mois plus tard. Cependant, nous avons émis l’hypothèse que la satisfaction relationnelle modèrerait cette association à travers le temps. Concernant les effets partenaires, nous avons émis l’hypothèse que de hauts niveaux de jalousie chez l’individu seraient associés à une augmentation du désengagement romantique chez son partenaire à travers le temps. Nous avons également considéré les différences de genre dans ces effets acteurs et partenaires. La jalousie, le désengagement romantique et la satisfaction relationnelle de 141 couples de sexes mixes ont été mesurés à deux temps de mesures sur une période de 9 mois. Des analyses acheminatoires basées sur le Modèle d’interdépendance acteur-partenaire ont ensuite été effectuées afin de vérifier les questions et hypothèses de recherche. Les résultats ont montré que la jalousie émotionnelle chez la femme était associée à une diminution de leur propre désengagement romantique à travers le temps (β = -.154, p = .029). De plus, la satisfaction relationnelle modérait l’association entre la jalousie émotionnelle et le désengagement romantique, c’est-à-dire que les femmes rapportaient une diminution de leur désengagement lorsqu’elles rapportaient être faiblement (B = -0.016, p = .004) ou moyennement satisfaites dans leur relation (B = -0.011, p = .032). L’interaction n’était pas significative pour les femmes qui étaient très satisfaites (B = -0.006, p = .257). La satisfaction relationnelle modérait aussi l’association entre la jalousie cognitive et le désengagement romantique chez la femme. La jalousie cognitive était associée à une augmentation du désengagement, mais seulement chez les femmes qui rapportaient être extrêmement satisfaites dans leur relation (4 ÉT au-dessus de la moyenne; B = 0.024, p = .048). Par ailleurs, la jalousie comportementale de la femme permettait de prédire une augmentation du désengagement chez son partenaire (β = .142, p = .039). Les résultats suggèrent que la jalousie serait un facteur à considérer pour comprendre le désengagement chez les couples de longue durée au fil du temps. De plus, cette association serait modérée par la satisfaction relationnelle, mais pour les femmes seulement. Des études supplémentaires seront nécessaires afin d’identifier d’autres facteurs relationnels et personnels pouvant contribuer au désengagement romantique chez l’homme. / Research examining jealousy among couples provides mixed findings regarding its association with relationship outcomes and does allow an understanding of its role in romantic disengagement. Also referred to the process of falling out of love, disengagement is frequently reported by couples who seek relationship therapy. Using a dyadic and prospective design, the purpose of this study was to examine the association between jealousy and romantic disengagement while considering relationship satisfaction as a potential moderating factor. Since the current literature provides mixed findings about the effect of jealousy on relationship outcomes, no a priori hypotheses were proposed about the directionality of the associations between the three components of jealousy assessed at baseline, and changes in romantic disengagement for the individual 9 months later (actor effects). However, we expected that relationship satisfaction would moderate this association. At the dyadic level, we expected that high levels of jealousy in the individual would be associated with an increase in their partner’s level of disengagement at follow-up (partner effects). Finally, we also considered gender differences in actor and partner effects. Jealousy, romantic disengagement, and relationship satisfaction were assessed twice among 141 mixed-sex couples over a nine-month period. Path analyses using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model were conducted to verify the hypotheses and research questions. Emotional jealousy was related to a decrease in one’s romantic disengagement over time for women (β = -.154, p = .029). Moreover, relationship satisfaction moderated the association between emotional jealousy and disengagement— women who reported low (B = -0.016, p = .004) to moderate (B= -0.011, p = .032) levels of relationship satisfaction experienced a decrease in their disengagement, but not when they reported being highly satisfied (B = -0.006, p = .257). Relationship satisfaction also moderated the association between cognitive jealousy and romantic disengagement for women—jealous thoughts were associated with an increase in romantic disengagement when women reported extremely high levels of satisfaction (4 standard deviations above the mean: B = 0.024, p = .048). Additionally, women’s behavioral jealousy predicted an increase in their partner’s disengagement (β = .142, p = .039). The findings suggest that considering jealousy increases our understanding of disengagement and how it unfolds over time among long-term couples. Moreover, relationship satisfaction would moderate the association between jealousy and disengagement, but only for women. Further research is required to identify other relational or personal factors that could contribute to romantic disengagement in men.

<p>The purpose of this research study was to look at the effects of perceived discrimination and sexual positivity on relationship and sexual satisfaction of sexual minority couples. The present study hypothesizes that there will be a moderating relationship between sexual positivity and perceived discrimination; higher levels of sexual positivity will predict higher relationship and sexual satisfaction, and perceived discrimination will negatively effect relationship and sexual satisfaction of couples with lower sexual positivity. Individuals who identify as a sexual minority were asked to participate in this study and answer survey questions pertaining to the level of satisfaction they experience in their romantic relationship and their sexual relationship, how sex positive the individuals are, and the amount of perceived discrimination that they experience; all through a minority stress lens. The results suggest that neither perceived discrimination nor the interaction between perceived discrimination and sexual positivity has a significant impact on the relationship and sexual satisfaction of sexual minority populations. However, the results of this study do suggest a statistically significant relationship between sexual positivity and relationship and sexual satisfaction of sexual minority couples.</p>

Sexual guilt can occur when one's beliefs or attitudes about sex do not match with their sexual behaviors. Sexual guilt has been studied in the context of religious individuals, but research has produced inconsistent results (Hackathorn et al., 2016; Higgins et al., 2010; Leonhardt et al., 2019; Murray et al., 2007). Through a survey placed on Mturk, this study used 156 participants for data analysis. Data analysis consisted of five regressions. This study found that religiosity and relationship satisfaction are positively associated, sexual guilt and relationship satisfaction are negatively associated, sexual guilt moderated the relationship of religiosity and relationship satisfaction, conflict between sexual attitudes and behaviors was associated with lower relationship satisfaction, religiosity and sexual satisfaction had a positive association, sexual guilt and sexual satisfaction had a negative association, sexual guilt had a moderating effect on religiosity and sexual satisfaction, conflict between attitudes and behaviors was associated with more sexual guilt, and religiosity was found to be positively associated with sexual guilt. This study relates these findings to past research and posits future directions for this field of study.<div><br></div><div><br><br></div>

This study compares three groups of undergraduate college males in heterosexual dating relationships: those who are physically and psychologically abusive (n=39), those who are solely psychologically abusive (n=44), and those who are non-abusive (n=34). These three groups are compared along the following variables: self-reported history of experiencing family of origin violence; self-reported history of witnessing family of origin violence; level of self-reported impulsivity; level of self-reported satisfaction with life; level of self-reported alcohol use; level of self-reported relationship satisfaction; and amount of self-reported anger management skill. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant main effects among the three groups of males along several of the variables examined (Wilks' Lambda F = 4.80, df = 10, 220, p <.001). Post hoc tests revealed significant differences among the three groups of males. This study revealed that these three groups differ significantly along their levels of alcohol use (F = 10.16, p <.001), their reported levels of relationship satisfaction (F = 4.23, p <.05), and their levels of anger management skills (F = 14.56, p<.001). This information can be helpful to clinicians and educators who are working with college populations. It would seem that psychoeducation might be useful for some of these men so that they might develop alternatives to violence, and may hopefully decrease the risk factors associated with the perpetration of relationship violence. Intervening early and effectively with these dating relationships can be a substantive step towards preventing the escalation and maintenance of violence in relationships. / Master of Science

Fördelningen av det obetalda hem- och omsorgsarbetet har länge varit ett omtalat ämne och en orsak till konflikter i förhållandet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur heterosexuella par med hemmavarande barn hanterar och upplever fördelningen av det obetalda hem- och omsorgsarbetet samt möjliga framgångsrika strategier paren kan tänkas använda för att uppnå en jämlik fördelning. 10 par intervjuades genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. För att besvara första frågeställningen användes materialet för att få fram den upplevda jämlikheten samt att sammanställa den upplevda arbetsfördelningen. För den andra frågeställningen tematiserades materialet där teman för strategier visade sig. Resultatet visade att kvinnor ägnar mer tid åt hushållsarbete än männen, men när det kommer till omsorgen blir fördelningen mer jämlik. Parens upplevelse av jämlikhet varierade, trots ojämlikhet inom vissa par så har ändå majoriteten en upplevelse av att det jämnar ut sig i slutändan. Varierande strategier användes men den som paren angav oftast var kommunikation.
