Prior research has primarily investigated savoring as an individual cognitive-behavioral process. The current study adds to our understanding of savoring by testing the measurement and distinct benefits of savoring as a mutual process with one’s romantic partner. Among a nationwide sample of 589 individuals, results from confirmatory factor analyses suggest the superiority of a one-factor model of a joint relational savoring scale that subsequently demonstrated strong validity and reliability. Multiple regression models reveal that higher levels of joint relational savoring were positively associated with indicators of relationship well-being and quality of life while controlling for multiple individual and demographic factors. Some evidence was also found for the protective effects of joint relational savoring from perceived stress for a subset of relationship and individual outcomes. Study findings contribute toward relationship maintenance scholarship and practitioners working with couples. 2024-08 Thesis https://hdl.handle.net/2142/125508 Joint relational savoring: Correlates and protective effects among individuals in romantic relationships Larsen, Noah B 2024-05-23 Barton, Allen W Ogolsky, Brian Savoring Couples Relationship Maintenance Relationship Quality Perceived Stress Moderation Satisfaction Well-being eng Human Dvlpmt & Family Studies Human Dvlpmt & Family Studies University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign M.S.
