This study drew upon key elements of relational turbulence and stress and coping theories to advance a conceptual model linking relational turbulence with stress, depression, and involvement in health‐compromising behavior, such as drug and alcohol use, limited or extreme physical activity, disordered eating patterns, and unprotected sex. Romantically involved individuals (N = 476) completed an online survey. Structural equation modeling revealed that greater relational turbulence was related to higher perceived stress and depression which, in turn, were related to more frequent engagement in health‐compromising health behavior. The study provides an extension to both the relational turbulence and health literatures by identifying the downstream effects of relational turbulence on psychological and behavioral health.

关系动荡和危害健康的行为：整合关系动荡和压力理论

这项研究借鉴了关系动荡和压力的关键要素以及应对理论，以发展一种将关系动荡与压力，抑郁和参与危害健康的行为（例如吸毒和酗酒，有限或极端体育活动，饮食失调）联系起来的概念模型模式和无保护的性行为。涉及浪漫的人（N = 476）完成了一项在线调查。结构方程模型显示，更大的关系动荡与更高的感知压力和抑郁感有关，而反过来又与更频繁地参与危害健康的健康行为有关。该研究通过确定关系动荡对心理和行为健康的下游影响，为关系动荡和健康文献提供了扩展。
