“…We opted, then, for a particularly stringent test by covarying relationship quality when predicting sequences of self-disclosure/hostility and validation/hostility. By demonstrating an association between relational uncertainty and dyadic asynchrony above and beyond relationship quality ( H1 , H2 ), our findings not only rule out a potential confound, but also contribute to a growing body of evidence differentiating relational uncertainty and relationship quality (e.g., Knobloch et al, 2021; Knobloch & Theiss, 2017).…”

“…People tend to be less satisfied with their relationship under conditions of relational uncertainty (e.g., Goodboy et al, 2020), and in interaction, individuals experiencing relationship distress tend to exhibit more negative behaviors (e.g., hostility, criticism, blame, defensiveness, withdrawal) and less positive behaviors (e.g., approval, empathy, affection; for review, see Balderrama-Durbin et al, 2020). Guided by research showing divergence between relational uncertainty and relationship quality as predictors of communication behavior (e.g., Knobloch et al, 2021; Knobloch & Theiss, 2017), we expect that relational uncertainty is negatively associated with dyadic synchrony over and above people’s reports of relationship quality. Formally stated:After covarying relationship quality, relational uncertainty corresponds with less dyadic synchrony via more frequent behavioral sequences of self-disclosure/hostility (H1) and validation/hostility (H2).…”

Relational uncertainty refers to the questions people have about their perceptions of involvement within close relationships. To complement a wealth of research examining the link between relational uncertainty and people’s self-reported communication strategies, we investigate relational uncertainty as a predictor of behavioral sequences within interaction. We draw on both seminal and contemporary theorizing to hypothesize that relational uncertainty impedes dyadic synchrony, or the coordination between partners within interaction. Couples ( N = 97) participated in a 5-minute discussion designed to facilitate expressions of intimacy; we coded these interactions using the circumplex-based Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) model. We evaluated whether couples experiencing relational uncertainty exhibit forms of dyadic asynchrony in which self-disclosure and validation are met by a partner’s hostility. Sequential analyses revealed that, after covarying relationship quality, relationship uncertainty was associated with sequences of self-disclosure/hostility among men ( H1), and self uncertainty and relationship uncertainty were associated with sequences of validation/hostility among both men and women ( H2). Partner uncertainty did not predict dyadic asynchrony in either form. These findings advance scholarship on relational uncertainty by underscoring the importance of sequential exchanges within couple interaction.

PurposeCrisis services personnel are frequently deployed around the globe under highly demanding conditions. This raises the need to better understand the deployment process and more especially, sustainable reintegration after deployment. Despite recent research efforts, the study of the post-deployment stage, more specifically the reintegration process, remains fragmented and limited. To address these limitations, this review aims at (1) describing how reintegration is conceptualised and measured in the existing literature, (2) identifying what dimensions are associated with the reintegration process and (3) identifying what we know about the process of reintegration in terms of timing and phases.Design/methodology/approachFollowing the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol, the authors identified 5,859 documents across several scientific databases published between 1995 and 2021. Based on predefined eligibility criteria, 104 documents were yielded.FindingsResearch has primarily focused on descriptive studies of negative individual and interpersonal outcomes after deployment. However, this review indicates that reintegration is dynamic, multi-sector, multidimensional and dual. Each of its phases and dimensions is associated with distinct challenges.Originality/valueTo the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research that investigates reintegration among different crisis services and provides an integrative social-ecological framework that identifies the different dimensions and challenges of this process.

Perceived general similarity and relationship satisfaction: The role of attributional confidence

Even though many studies have examined the link between individuals' perceived general similarity to their romantic partners and their own relationship satisfaction, there are not many studies focusing on the impact of perceived general similarity reported by the partner. The present work uncovers the potential mediating roles of one's and the partner's attributional confidence in the effects of one's and the partner's perceived general similarity on relationship satisfaction. To investigate the mechanisms, two studies were conducted at individual and dyadic levels. A total of 395 individuals (51.4% female) aged 17–67 (M = 22.06, SD = 4.68) in unmarried opposite‐gender relationships were recruited in Study 1 and 227 unmarried opposite‐gender couples were employed in Study 2. Across two studies, the indirect effect of perceived general similarity on relationship satisfaction via attributional confidence was significant. In particular, the actor effects of perceived general similarity on relationship satisfaction were mediated by the actor effects of attributional confidence. Moreover, the partner effects of perceived general similarity on relationship satisfaction were mediated by partner attributional confidence (i.e., one's partner's perceived general similarity on one's relationship satisfaction via one's partner's attributional confidence). The present findings shed light on the mechanisms through which perceived general similarity fosters relationship satisfaction among opposite‐gender relationships.
