Abstract

Tal Harel

The study explored the association between relationship expectations and affective behavior interactions among romantic couples and whether Work-Family Conflict (WFC) moderates this link. Studies have explored the link between expectations and marital commitment extensively, but fewer have investigated how behavioral interactions are predicted by expectations. Several investigations have reported how expectations guide and address behavior in different relationships. However, additional research is required to understand the role of WFC in this association. In the first phase, the sample included 30 employed adults who were in romantic relationship and agreed to participate in the study. The participants completed measures of relationship expectations, perceived behavior interactions and WFC. Results indicated that relationship expectations were positively related to affective behavior interactions whereas WFC was shown to be negatively related.
