Western U study explores health of relationships — and not just on Valentines Day
, is heading a study which examines how partners interpret one another’s behaviour in order to explore what might lead a relationship to become a negative experience.Dozois said that the ongoing study is related to his work with depression, “realizing that a big part of it has to do with interpersonal beliefs [and] beliefs about who I am in relationships with others.
Through the study, Dozois and his team have developed a series of questionnaires that “measure how individuals think about their partners.”Currently, 150 couples are involved and are put through a conflict discussion task where they talk about something that’s “causing a bit of an issue in the relationship,” Dozois said. The discussion is filmed and played back for analysis, and participants are also asked to keep a daily diary for a few weeks.
“With all that information, we hope to come up with better interventions to help couples learn to communicate differently, problem solve, and better accept the other partner, which can go a long way in improving relationship satisfaction,” Dozois said.
