dc.description.abstractA growing body of research suggests that there may be specific interpersonal behaviors that couples can engage in to protect themselves from the well-researched negative effects that couple conflict has on physical health in romantic relationships. The current study explored a moderation model of three interpersonal variables (secure attachment, dyadic coping and mindful partnering) on the relationship between couple conflict and physical health.620 participants from a large Western United States University subject pool and Mechanical Turks completed self-report measures of couple conflict, physical health, attachment, dyadic coping and mindful partnering. Results from multiple regression moderation analyses indicated that secure attachment and mindful partnering moderated the association between couple conflict and physical health in romantic relationships. Though dyadic coping trended towards moderation of couple conflict and physical health at the bivariate level, it was not indicated to be a moderator at the multivariate level. Clinical implications, limitations, and areas for future research are also discussion in the paper.
