- 요약How does culture shape our ideals and experiences of romantic love? In this dissertation, I demonstrate that cultural models of self shape what we ideally want in a romantic relationship, as well as the types of romantic partner responses that are most prevalent and desirable.In Studies 1-3, both European Americans and Japanese participants valued relationship and partner warmth the most, but European Americans valued passion and closeness in their relationships more and valued appropriate distance (i.e., not being too dependent on each other, not restricting each other) lessthan Japanese. These cultural differences were related to wanting to influence (vs. adjust to) others and to believing that enduring relationships are closer.Next, in Studies 4 and 5, I show that these cultural differences in romantic ideals are reflected in popular American and Japanese love songs (Study 4) and movie posters (Study 5). Next, I examined the prevalence and consequences of partner responses to good news. Previous research conducted on US samples suggests that responding in a way that is both expressive and positive ("active constructive") is best, whereas responding in a way that is inexpressive and positive ("passive constructive"), expressive and negative ("active destructive"), or inexpressive and negative ("passive destructive") is worse for relationship satisfaction. In three studies we attempt to explain why. In Study 6, European Americans reported that their partners responded to their good news in less passive constructive and lessactive destructive ways compared to Japanese and these differences were mediated by European Americans valuing positivity (vs. negativity) more than Japanese. However, while passive constructive and active destructive partner responses were harmful for relationship satisfaction for European Americans, they were beneficial for relationship satisfaction and uncorrelated with relationship satisfaction for Japanese, respectively. These cultural differences emerged when couples read hypothetical scenarios that were randomly paired with hypothetical partner responses in Study 7 and during actual couple interactions in Study 8. Thus, these results suggest that how you should respond to your partners' good news depends on your culture-specifically, how much your culture values positivity (vs. negativity).Together, these findings demonstrate that cultural differences in models of self and ideal affect shape the way we conceive of ideal romantic love, as well as how partner responses to good news shape relationship satisfaction. This work has important implications for our scientific understanding of romantic love, and for the development of culturally inclusive relationship science and practice.
