Understanding the Role of Automatic Partner Attitudes in Relationship Functioning

Project description

A scientific exploration of romantic couples

Romance is important in life. Research suggests romantic relationships help lower the risk of illness, morbidity and mortality. But remaining happy with a long-term romantic partner is not easy, as evidenced by high divorce rates. The EU-funded AutoRelationPun project will explore the functioning and the well-being of relationships. It suggests that automatic partner attitudes reflect the pattern of affective experiences that people encounter with their partner. As such, they are the primary source of behaviour towards that partner. Using a combination of fine-grained longitudinal, observational and experimental methods, the project will test this crucial role of automatic partner attitudes. The findings will provide new insights in relationship science and help romantic couples keep the love alive.
