Social Psychology accuracy approach sacrifice motives avoidance sacrifice motives bias motivation person perception romantic relationships sacrifice I examined tracking accuracy and mean-level bias in people’s perceptions of their romantic partner’s approach and avoidance sacrifice motives, various global and daily differences that may shed light on why some people may have more accurate perceptions than others, and possible consequences of bias on daily relationship outcomes. Using a sample of 94 couples (N = 188) and data from both daily diaries and intake measures, I found evidence of tracking accuracy in perceptions of avoidance sacrifice motives; however, tracking accuracy for approach sacrifice motives was only significant for those with above average levels of need for cognition. I found evidence of mean-level bias, such that people tended to consistently underperceive their partner’s sacrifice motives and those with above average emotional intelligence underperceived their partner’s avoidance sacrifice motives more, while those who were more responsive on a given day reported less underperception of partner approach sacrifice motives. Further, there was a trending association between lower underperception of avoidance sacrifice motives and greater daily relationship satisfaction. These results demonstrate that accuracy and bias are simultaneously present in people’s perceptions of a romantic partner’s approach and avoidance sacrifice motives, specifically that accuracy and bias may occasionally depend on specific individual differences. 2019-04-25 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent155609593349748 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent155609593349748 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
