Sexual satisfaction in long‐term heterosexual relationships: The interpersonal exchange model of sexual satisfaction

Kelli-an Lawrance, E. Sandra Byers · 1 Dec 1995

Abstract This study examined the validity of the Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction (IEMSS) in long‐term, heterosexual sexual relationships. The IEMSS proposes that sexual satisfaction depends on one's levels of rewards and costs in the sexual relationship, one's comparison levels (CL) for rewards/costs, and one's perceptions of the dyadic equality (EQ) of these rewards/costs.…

The…

Across 52 studies, including 60 independent samples and 11,582 participants, satisfaction with, alternatives to, and investments in a relationship each correlated significantly with commitment to that relationship. Moreover, these three variables collectively accounted for nearly two–thirds of the variance in commitment. Commitment, in turn, was…

Partner effects in relationship research: Conceptual issues, analytic difficulties, and illustrations

David A. Kenny, William L. Cook · 1 Dec 1999

Abstract This article discusses the conceptual meaning of partner effects, which occur when one person is affected by the behavior or characteristics of his or her partner. We show that partner effects can be used to validate the presence of a relationship and can elaborate the particular nature of that relationship. We discuss possible moderation…
