Using a multimethod approach, we examined how regulatory focus shapes people’s perceptual, behav-ioral, and emotional responses in different situations in romantic relationships. We first examined how chronic regulatory focus affects romantic partners ’ support perceptions and problem

This article examines the psychological underpinnings of social networks by drawing on regulatory focus theory—an overarching distinction between two basic motivational systems that underlie people’s self-regulations, motivated cognitions, and strategic preferences. We propose that regulatory focus

The approach tends to focus more directly on discovering the extensional properties of interest: for constant propagation it might operate on sets of values with constancy corresponding to singletons

The tutorial is focused on some of the theoretical issues that are relevant for data integration. Special attention will be devoted to the following aspects

Some critics have accused proponents of life-style interventions of promoting a victim-blaming ideology by neglecting the importance of social influences on health and disease. This article proposes an ecological model for health promotion which focuses atten-tion on both

A second major focus is on the patterning of environmental events and transitions over the life course as these affect and are affected by intrafamilial processes. Special emphasis is given to critical research gaps in knowledge and priorities for future

Marketing inherited a model of exchange from economics, which had a dominant logic based on the exchange of “goods, ” which usually are manufactured output. The dominant logic focused on tangible resources, embedded value, and transactions. Over the past several decades, new perspectives have

People approach pleasure and avoid pain. To discover the true nature of approach-avoidance motivation, psychologists need to move beyond this hedonic principle to the principles that underlie the different ways that it operates. One such principle is regulatory focus, which distinguishes self
