Additional Variance

In three studies of romantic relationships (N = 253, N = 81, and N = 98) the hypothesis was tested that high narcissists, relative to low narcissists, distort the assessment of equity in attractiveness. Narcissism was measured by the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. In Study 1 the hypothesis was confirmed. In Study 2 it was shown that although narcissism correlated significantly with self-esteem, it was the unique variance in narcissism which predicted the tendency to feel underbenefited in respect to attractiveness. Finally in Study 3, dyadic data were analyzed on the basis of the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model. The data of 49 couples who lived together were included. The dyadic analysis indicated that actor narcissism exerted the expected influence on perceived inequity in attractiveness, whereas partner narcissism explained no additional variance. High narcissists felt more underbenefited than low narcissists. The analysis of dyadic data in Study 3 indicates that the link between narcissism and equity in attractiveness turns out to be an intrapersonal phenomenon because only actor narcissism, not partner narcissism, is significantly correlated with perceived inequity. In addition, partial intraclass correlations revealed that if one partner tended to feel underbenefited, the other partner tended to feel overbenefited. The results are explained on the basis of the agentic model of narcissism. All three studies consistently revealed a gender effect indicating that women felt more underbenefited than men in terms of attractiveness.

Partner Effect

The present study draws attention to the significance of considering mindfulness and spiritual well-being on cancer-related distress among couples with cancer during the pandemic. Dyadic data was analyzed among couples with cancer (80 couples; N=160) to examine the within-person (actor effects) and between-partner (partner effects) associations among links between mindfulness, spiritual well-being, and cancer-related distress through the use of the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM; Kashy & Kenny, 2000). Significant actor and/or partner effects were found for mindfulness and spiritual well-being in couples with cancer, a factor that predicted cancer-related distress. Spirituality seemed to only play an important role in patients’ own cancer-related distress (actor effect), with patients’ higher levels of spiritual well-being predicting patients’ lower levels of distress. On the other hand, mindfulness was not only significantly related to the cancer patient and partner’s own distress (actor effect), partner’s mindfulness was also significantly associated with the patient’s distress (partner effect). The findings underscore the need to adopt a systemic perspective that accounts for multiple, simultaneous adaptive processes including mindfulness and spiritual well-being as influences on cancer-related distress in the time of COVID-19.

The Impact

Background: Depression is common in stoke survivors and their caregivers. Given the interdependent relationship among the members of dyads in post-stroke management, improving depression in dyads may depend on their partner’s characteristics. Self-esteem, optimism, and perceived control, all known to be associated with depression in an individual, may also contribute to their partner’s depression. The purpose of this study was to examine whether an individual’s self-esteem, optimism and perceived control predict their own, as well as their partner’s depression. Methods: A total of 112 ischemic stroke survivor-spouse dyads completed surveys in which depression, self-esteem, optimism, and perceived control were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Revised Life Orientation Test, and the Sense of Control Scale. Multilevel modeling, actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) regression with distinguishable dyad was used to determine influences on depression within the dyad. In APIM, actor effect is the impact of a person’s factors on their own depression and partner effect is the impact of a person’s factors on their partner’s depression. Results: As shown in Figure1, individuals with lower self-esteem, optimism, and perceived control had higher level of depression. Spouses who had stroke survivors with low self-esteem had higher levels of depression. Stroke survivors who had spouses with lower self-esteem and optimism had higher levels of depression. Conclusion: Stroke survivor self-esteem and spouse self-esteem and optimism influenced their partner’s depression. These findings suggest that dyadic intervention is needed to improve depression for the dyads and that depressed stroke survivors may benefit from interventions that improve spousal self-esteem and optimism.
