This study examined the dyadic effects of relationship uncertainty and the use of negative relational maintenance behaviors. Romantic couples (N = 227 dyads) completed a survey assessing their current relationship uncertainty (i.e., definition, mutuality, behavioral, future) and their use of negative behaviors to maintain their relationship (i.e., jealousy induction, avoidance, spying, infidelity, destructive conflict, allowing control). Multilevel modeling was used to calculate actor-partner interdependence models. Actor effects were revealed between relationship uncertainty and negative relational maintenance. Results also revealed some partner effects. However, nine of these effects were moderated with significant actor-by-partner interactions, indicating that actors and partners with low relationship uncertainty use less negative maintenance in their relationships.

关系不确定性对负关系维持的二元影响

这项研究检查了关系不确定性和负面关系维持行为的使用的二元效应。浪漫情侣（N = 227个双胞胎）完成了一项调查，评估了他们当前的关系不确定性（即定义，相互关系，行为，未来）和使用负面行为来维持其关系（即嫉妒感，回避，间谍，不忠，破坏性）冲突，允许控制）。多级建模用于计算参与者与伙伴之间的相互依赖模型。在关系不确定性和负面关系维持之间揭示了演员效应。结果还显示了一些伴侣效应。但是，其中9种效果是通过重要的参与者之间的互动来缓解的，
