Variability in Relationship Commitment and Its Correlation
No full textVariability in relationship commitment describes how individuals experience different amounts of change from day to day in their commitment to their relationship and their partner. Only a few studies have examined variability in relationship commitment prior to the current dissertation. The current dissertation examined variability in relationship commitment using two studies and four measures of variability in relationship commitment (observed, self-reported, situational, and interitem). The first study created multiple cross-sectional measures of variability in relationship commitment (self-reported and situational). Associations between all four measures of variability in relationship commitment and associated concepts were examined. Self-reported variability performed as expected. Situational and interitem variability in relationship commitment did not. The second study examined observed and interitem variability in relationship commitment within a dyadic context. Observed variability in relationship commitment performed as expected for both men and women and interitem variability in relationship commitment only performed as expected for men.Psychology, Department o

Continuous abstinence across Weeks 1, 2, and 4 post-quit was the outcome variable. Data were collected between March 2005 and November 2007, and the current study analyses were conducted in April 2010.ResultsDepressive symptoms predicted significantly lower cessation rates for whites and African Americans. In contrast, among Latinos there was no relationship between depression and cessation.ConclusionsThis research is the first to prospectively demonstrate a racially/ethnically differentiated effect of depressive symptoms on smoking cessation, and it has implications for targeted smoking-cessation treatments as it indicates that depression may not be a key treatment target for Latinos.CA016672/CA/NCI NIH HHSUnited States/R01 DA014818/DA/NIDA NIH HHSUnited States/K07 CA121037/CA/NCI NIH HHSUnited States/P30 CA016672/CA/NCI NIH HHSUnited States/R25 CA057730/CA/NCI NIH HHSUnited States/R25 CA57730/CA/NCI NIH HHSUnited States/K01 DP001120/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHSUnited States
