The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether relationship self-regulation (changing aspects of the self for the sake of the relationship) or partner regulation (changing the partner for the sake of the self/relationship) was more strongly associated with romantic relationship quality. Twenty studies (5 on relationship self-regulation, 15 on partner regulation; N = 15,563) were included. A moderate positive association was found between relationship self-regulation and relationship quality (r = .42). A weak positive association was found between positive partner regulation and relationship quality (r = .14). A negative association was found between negative partner regulation strategies and relationship quality (r = −.22). Partner regulation strategies were unlikely to be successful in prompting change in targeted partners. A weak positive association was found between positive strategies and regulation success (r = .10), and a weak negative association was found between negative strategies and regulation success (r = −.09). Thus, relationship self-regulation is more strongly associated with relationship quality than partner regulation.

关系自我调节、伴侣调节和关系结果之间的关联：荟萃分析

这项荟萃分析的目的是确定关系自我调节（为了关系而改变自我的各个方面）或伴侣调节（为了自我/关系而改变伴侣）是否与浪漫关系更密切。关系质量。 纳入了20 项研究（5 项关于关系自我调节，15 项关于伴侣调节；N = 15,563）。关系自我调节与关系质量之间存在中度正相关（r  = .42）。研究发现，积极的伴侣监管与关系质量之间存在弱正相关关系（r  = .14）。研究发现，消极伴侣监管策略与关系质量之间存在负相关关系（r  = −.22）。合作伙伴监管策略不太可能成功促使目标合作伙伴发生变化。积极策略与监管成功之间存在弱正相关（r  = .10），消极策略与监管成功之间存在弱负相关（r  = -.09）。因此，关系自我调节比伴侣调节与关系质量的相关性更强。
