Abstract
This study examines associations between mechanisms of relational turbulence and demand/withdraw in couples with depressive symptoms. One hundred twenty-six couples in which one or both partners were professionally diagnosed with depression completed an online questionnaire. Actor effects appeared for relational uncertainty and interference from a partner. Partner effects were evident for self uncertainty and interference from a partner. The findings illustrate connections between qualities of the relationship and communication behaviors and illuminate interdependence in partners’ experiences. The results have pragmatic value for helping couples with depressive symptoms reduce negative communication patterns.
