Linking hearts and minds in couple interactions: Intentions, attributions, and overriding sentiments
Article Abstract:
A study is designed to understand the nature, determinants and correlates of momentary attributions about a partner's intentions in couple interactions. It is observed that the link between relationship satisfaction and attributions are totally mediated by momentary emotional experiences, supporting the theory of overriding sentiments, also suggesting that clinicians working with distressed couples should understand the emotional state of partners in which attributions are made.
