Romantik Partnerlerin Duygusal Ortak Düzenleme Örüntüleri

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, normatif romantik partnerlerin olumlu ve olumsuz duygulanımlarında ortak düzenleme (coregulation) örüntülerini incelemek ve duygu düzenleme alanındaki önceki bulguları tekrar-lamaktır. Bu amaçla, 37 romantik çift (74 kişi) ardışık 14 gün boyunca günlük kayıtları tamamlamıştır. Hipotezimiz, kişinin günlük olumlu / olumsuz duygularının, partnerinin günlük olumlu / olumsuz duygu-larıyla olumlu bir şekilde ilişkili olacağı idi. Ayrıca, kişinin kendi olumlu / olumsuz duygularındaki gün-lük değişimlerin, partnerinin olumlu / olumsuz duygularındaki günlük değişimlerle pozitif olarak ilişkili olacağı idi. Hipotez kısmen desteklenmiş, çok düzeyli analizlerin sonuçları partnerlerin günlük olumlu ve olumsuz duygularının, kişinin kendi olumlu ve olumsuz duygularını pozitif olarak yordadığını göster-miştir. Ayrıca, partnerlerin olumlu duygularındaki günlük değişimler ise, kişinin kendi olumlu duygu-larındaki günlük değişimlerini pozitif yönde yordamıştır. Ancak partnerlerin olumsuz duygularındaki günlük değişimler, kişinin kendi olumsuz duygularındaki değişimlerle ilişkili bulunmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, bulgular ortak düzenleme örüntüsünü olumlu duygular için desteklerken olumsuz duygular için desteklememektedir. Bu sonuçlar, önceki bulguları tekrarlayarak ve romantik çiftlerin duygusal ortak düzenleme çalışmalarına daha fazla kanıt sağlayarak, duygu düzenleme alanına önemli bir katkı sağlamıştır.

Emotional Coregulation Patterns of Romantic Partners

Öz

This study aims to examine the coregulation patterns in the positive and negative affect of normative romantic partners and to replicate the previous findings in the emotion regulation field. For this aim, 37 romantic couples (74 individuals) completed daily records for 14 consecutive days. We hypothesized that one’s daily positive/negative affect would be positively associated with the partner’s daily positive/negative affect. We also expected that changes in one’s daily positive/negative affect would be positively associated with changes in the partner’s daily positive/negative affect. The hypothesis was partially supported, as results of multilevel analyses revealed that partners’ daily positive and negative affect positively predict one’s own positive and negative affect. Moreover, change in partners’ positive affect positively predicted one’s own change in positive affect. Change in partners’ negative affect did not predict one’s own change in negative affect. Overall, the findings demonstrated the coregulation pattern in positive affect but not for negative affect for romantic dyads. The findings made an important contribution to the field of emotion regulation by replicating previous findings and providing further evidence for the emotional coregulation of romantic couples.
