Citations in the corpus

• Communication Processes that Predict Young Adults’ Feelings of Being Caught and their Associations with Mental Health and Family Satisfaction (2007, background): “While this asymmetrical pattern of behavior can sometimes facilitate positive relational change (cf. Caughlin, 2002), it typically characterizes distressed couples (Schaap, Buunk, & Kerkstra, 1988) and predicts relational dissatisfaction (Caughlin & Huston, 2002; Heavey, Christensen, & Malamuth,…”
• Perceptions of power and interactional dominance in interpersonal relationships (2005, background): “This is especially true because some research has found that the relevance of the topic can influence the dominance used by couples in conversation (e.g. Caughlin, 2002).”
• “Feeling caught” as a mediator of adolescents' and young adults' avoidance and satisfaction with their parents in divorced and non-divorced households (2003, methodology): “…other research on topic avoidance also reveals, avoiding talking about the state of one’s relationship may outweigh the benefits of openness if the perceived outcome of the openness is negative (W. Afifi & Burgoon, 1998; Baxter & Wilmot, 1985; Golish & Caughlin, 2002; T. Afifi & Schrodt, in press).”
• Trait emotional intelligence, conflict communication patterns, and relationship satisfaction (2008, background): “Similarly, it appears that the impact of marital behaviours depends on how long the couples have been together (Caughlin, 2002).”
• Relational consequences of compulsive Internet use: a longitudinal study among newlyweds (2011, background): “For example, the Internet use may be used to withdraw from a situation in which one is criticized by the relationship partner (demand/withdraw pattern; Caughlin, 2002; Christensen & Heavey, 1990).”
• Demand/Withdraw Communication between Parents and Adolescents: Connections with Self-Esteem and Substance Use (2004, background): “The original CPQ assessed demand/withdraw in marriage by asking people to report the likelihood of various communication patterns before and during the discussion of a problem.”
