Although all romantic relationships experience stress, some thrive when faced with adversity while others are unable to manage the inevitable relationship ups and downs. Rather than seeing stress as a risk factor, this study applied a Salutogenic framework, which posits that stress is a naturally occurring and potentially beneficial part of relationships, to develop a new measure of relationship health and well‐being. In Study 1, we created and tested a self‐report Relationship Sense of Coherence (RSOC) scale. Study 2 demonstrated evidence of convergent reliability for the RSOC. In Study 3, we tested the RSOC in a two‐wave sample of romantically‐involved individuals with a chronic health condition. Guidelines for use and implications for future research are discussed.

关系，健康和压力：验证关系连贯性的方法

尽管所有恋爱关系都会承受压力，但有些人在遇到逆境时会while壮成长，而另一些人则无法应对不可避免的恋爱起伏。这项研究没有将压力视为危险因素，而是采用了一种有益健康的框架，该框架假设压力是关系的自然发生和潜在的有益组成部分，从而开发了一种关系健康和幸福感的新度量。在研究1中，我们创建并测试了自我报告的关系连贯感（RSOC）量表。研究2证明了RSOC的收敛可靠性。在研究3中，我们在两波患有慢性健康状况的浪漫个体中测试了RSOC。讨论了使用指南及其对未来研究的意义。
