Abstract
ABSTRACT This study tested propositions of relational turbulence theory (RTT) from a latent variable mixture modeling perspective. A national sample of married individuals (N = 503) completed a questionnaire measuring RTT relationship parameters, experiences, and outcomes. A latent profile analysis provided support for RTT as (a) marriages were well-separated by relational uncertainty and interdependence parameters, (b) spouses belonging to marriages characterized by higher relational uncertainty and interference (and lower facilitation) experienced more biased cognitive appraisals and intensified negative emotions within the marriage, which in turn, (c) predicted relational turbulence. These results provide support for the specifications and mechanisms purported by RTT and offer an alternative person-centered, rather than traditional variable-centered, approach for testing its axioms and propositions.
期刊介绍：
Communication Monographs, published in March, June, September & December, reports original, theoretically grounded research dealing with human symbolic exchange across the broad spectrum of interpersonal, group, organizational, cultural and mediated contexts in which such activities occur. The scholarship reflects diverse modes of inquiry and methodologies that bear on the ways in which communication is shaped and functions in human interaction. The journal endeavours to publish the highest quality communication social science manuscripts that are grounded theoretically. The manuscripts aim to expand, qualify or integrate existing theory or additionally advance new theory. The journal is not restricted to particular theoretical or methodological perspectives.
