| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 心理學研究所 === 105 === Most prior researches of intimate relationship ignored the effect that caused by the partner and the interaction effect between the relationship. In recent years, researchers have started to use dyadic analysis to study intimate relationship, but there are still few Chinese literatures that collect dyadic data for studying intimate relationship. This thesis collects dyadic data of unmarried lovers to explore the constructive transformation process of the conflict in intimate relationship. This research supposes that the functional-orientated appraisal on conflict will positively affect the person’s relationship satisfaction and will be mediated by conflict resolution strategies when the individual solves conflict in compatible or sharing resolution strategy. Moreover, these effects will not only affect the individuals themselves, but also affect their partners’ relationship satisfaction and personal peacefulness. Therefore, the study used Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) and Structure Equation Model (SEM) to analyze the dyadic data. Data was collected from 189 pairs unmarried lovers. The results are split into two levels, the individual analysis and the dyadic analysis. The level of individual analysis indicated that functional appraisal will increase personal relationship satisfaction. Competitive appraisal and escape strategy will decrease personal relationship satisfaction. Male’s self-sacrificing strategy will increase his relationship satisfaction, but females’ won’t. Male’s utilitarian strategy will decrease his relationship satisfaction, but females’ won’t. The level of dyadic analysis indicated that male’s compatible strategy will increase female’s relationship satisfaction; no matter gender, individual’s self-sacrificing strategy will decrease partern’s peacefulness; male’s utilitarian strategy will increase female’s relationship satisfaction and peacefulness. Based on these findings, limitations and suggestions to future direction are discussed.
