PSYC 362 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Free Recall, Conflict Management, Fortune-Telling
Document Summary
People who worked clinically with couples and families found that conflict was salient in clinical presentations (60s-70s) The study of intimacy and specifically conflict started with an applied need (to treat couples and families in distress) Studying the process of communication in relationships (ucla newlyweds sample in (cobb et al. , 2001)) - topics. Sex moves up hierarchy and in-laws goes down (jackson et al. , 2016) low income couples. A: free listed problems (what are the biggest sources of disagreement b/w you and your partner?) B: severity ratings on a standardized list of problems. Typical relationship problems are rated as most severe. The top issues that are salient are generally more severe. Some issues were rated as severe but weren"t salient in the free recall. For free recall, people think of concrete things that they argue about, but when given a broad category to rate, they are more inclusive (williamson et al. , 2013): topic and severity.
