The Constructive Transformation Process of Conflict in Intimate Relationships: An Analysis of the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model

研究目的：探討情侶關係衝突的建設性轉化歷程，並關注伴侶間的相互影響，主張關係中雙方對衝突採取功能性評估與競爭性評估信念，會透過相應的因應策略影響自身與對方的關係滿意度與安適幸福感。研究方法：援用行動者與伴侶相依模式，以189對未婚情侶於2016年6月至8月期間填答網路調查的對偶資料進行結構方程模型分析。研究結果：針對行動者效果，對衝突持功能性評估者會透過兼容並蓄因應策略提升自身的關係滿意度；持競爭性評估者會透過規避逃離因應策略降低自身的關係滿意度；男性採自我犧牲策略者會提升自身的關係滿意度與安適幸福感，採功利主義策略者會降低自身的關係滿意度。針對伴侶效果，採自我犧牲策略者會降低對方的安適幸福感；女性採兼容並蓄策略者會降低男性的安適幸福感；男性採兼容並蓄策略者會提升女性的關係滿意度，採功利主義策略者會提升女性的安適幸福感。研究結論：本研究以對偶資料突顯出情侶雙方對衝突的認知評估與因應策略會相互影響衝突的建設性轉化歷程。

Purpose: We collected dyadic data from unmarried lovers to explore the constructive transformation process of conflict in intimate relationships. We investigated the different resolution strategies mediated the relationships between the type of cognitive appraisal (functional-oriented or competitive-oriented) used to assess conflict in intimate relationship and personal adaptation (satisfaction with the relationship and peace of mind).Method: We used the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) and structural equation modeling (SEM) for data analysis. Data were collected from 189 pairs of unmarried lovers by online surveyfrom June through August in 2016. Results: For both genders, a functional-oriented appraisal of conflict was positively related to a compatible resolution strategy, and consequently contributed to higher satisfaction with the relationship. For both genders, a competitive-oriented appraisal of conflict was positively related to an escape resolution strategy, and consequently contributed to lower satisfaction with the relationship. For men, a self-sacrifice resolution strategy was associated with higher satisfaction with the relationship and peace of mind, but a utilitarian resolution strategy was associated with lower satisfaction in the relationship. For both genders, if one partner had a self-sacrifice resolution strategy, the other had lower satisfaction with the relationship. If the female had a compatible resolution strategy, the male had lower peace of mind, but if the male had a compatible resolution strategy, the female had higher satisfaction with the relationship. The male partner’s utilitarian resolution strategy was related to his partner’s higher peace of mind. Conclusion: The results would be informative in investigating the dyadic conflict interaction process between unmarried young lovers, as well as in providing professional consultants a better understanding of the constructive transformation process of conflict in intimate relationships.
