“…We based the current study on the work of Hazan and Shaver (1987), which conceptualized interpersonal attachment styles as secure, anxious, or avoidant. A secure attachment style, which reflects a positive model of the self and others, is defined as a person's ability to become emotionally close to others and to be comfortable relying on them and supporting them (Paquette et al, 2020). Secure individuals who consider others trustworthy, helpful, and dependable are able to reduce distress and remove obstacles by turning to others, thus ensuring high levels of attachment, relationship quality, and commitment (Dijkstra et al, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of service failure severity on brand forgiveness and to investigate the moderating effects of interpersonal attachment styles and thinking styles on the service failure severity–brand forgiveness relationship. Design/methodology/approach The authors used retrospective experience sampling to collect the data and structural equation modeling (AMOS 24) to analyze 570 responses collected via an online survey. Findings This study shows that the service failure severity–brand forgiveness relationship is not always negative, as different conditions may amplify or weaken it. Specifically, a secure attachment style and holistic thinking weaken the negative impact of service failure severity on brand forgiveness, whereas an anxious attachment style and analytic thinking negatively amplify the relationship. An avoidance attachment style did not appear to play a role. Practical implications This study should help hotels fine-tune their segmentation, targeting and positioning efforts and may also help in implementing more focused recovery strategies. Originality/value This study provides insights into the role of psychological traits in amplifying/reducing the negative impact of service failure severity on brand forgiveness, thus showing the importance of developing the psychological profiles of customers beyond demographic profiling. The emotional and cognitive typologies of consumers are key to understanding the dependence of forgiveness on service failure severity.

“…More recently, Ratelle and colleagues (2013) have similarly proposed that romantic passion may follow a dual model. Applying Vallerand and colleagues (2003) dual model of passion originally developed in the context of passion toward activities (e.g., work, education, sport, and leisure activities), this dual model suggests two different forms of romantic passion: the similarly named obsessive romantic passion and harmonious romantic passion (Carbonneau & Vallerand, 2013; Carbonneau et al., 2016; Paquette et al., 2020; Rapaport et al., 2018; Ratelle et al., 2013). In applying this theory of passion toward activities to romantic relationships, however, the meaning of romantic passion takes on a somewhat different meaning than the classic conceptualization of romantic passion or passionate love in relationship science.…”

In an integrative review, we examine four theories and models of romantic passion to determine what causes feelings of romantic passion. Although a growing consensus has emerged for the definition of romantic passion, we suggest that this is largely not the case for the source of romantic passion. We outline how four different perspectives—Limerence Theory, the Rate of Change in Intimacy Model, the Self‐Expansion Model, and the Triangular Theory of Love—propose four different potential sources of romantic passion and review empirical support in favor and against each. For each of these perspectives, we additionally outline the predicted trajectory of passion that follows from each theorized source of passion, as well as each perspective's view on the ability for passion to be controlled and up‐regulated. In identifying ways in which these theories and models offer conflicting predictions about the source of romantic passion, this review points to ways in which a more comprehensive model may be developed that integrates across these four perspectives.

“…In light of the proven importance of the interrelatedness between marital outcomes and mental health, a great number of studies have been implemented to address the predictors of successful and unsuccessful marital relationship. These studies proposed some essential variables, such as attachment styles (Amani & Khosroshahi, 2020;Paquette et al, 2020), personality (Amani & Majzoobi, 2012;Kazempour & Hossein Sabet, 2018;Kuruku & Aloho, 2018), self-compassion and forgiveness (Fahimdanesh et al, 2020), religious beliefs, prayer, and forgiveness (Olson et al, 2015), to cite just a few, as the predictors of the state of the marital relationship. Along with the aforementioned well-known intrapersonal variables, whose role in predicting marital outcomes has been proven by many studies, some interpersonal variables have likewise been demonstrated to be effective in anticipating marital outcomes.…”

The current systematic review aimed to explore the interdependence of relationship-defining memories (RDMs) with positive and negative marital outcomes in order to gain a deeper insight into the nature, content, and the reminiscence of RDMs, as well as the role they may serve in the marital relationship. The studies included in the current systematic review had addressed RDMs and their impact on marital outcomes among healthy people above the age of 18 who are in a romantic relationship. After checking the studies found in our search through the scientific databases against the eligibility criteria, 16 studies were included in the systematic review, of which 14 were found to be eligible for a meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis indicated a relatively moderate and high correlation of RDMs with marital outcomes (r = .334) and marital satisfaction (r = .445), respectively. The review of included studies revealed that there is an inextricable link between RDMs and significant marital outcomes such as marital satisfaction, intimacy, well-being, quality, and suchlike.
