Relational quality and communicative responses following hurtful events in dating relationships: An expectancy violations analysis (2006, methodology): “hurtful events produced greater permanent relationship damage, and Feeney (2004) demonstrated that perceived intentionality was a stronger predictor of long-term relational damage following hurtful events than was perceived redress, perceived offender remorse, or negative victim behavior.”
Insecure attachment predicts ambivalent social threat and reward perceptions in romantic relationships (2013, background): “Anxiously attached individuals appear to be in a relatively chronic state of emotional distress, prompting a continual hypervigilance for threat and constant appeals to others for support (e.g., Feeney, 2004).”
Forgiveness, Apology, and Communicative Responses to Hurtful Events (2006, background): “…2002) identified seven distinct communicative responses to hurtful events.1 Three of these responses—relational repair, integrative communication, and loyalty—have been described as constructive or conciliatory forms of communication (Feeney, 2004; Rusbult, 1987) that enhance relationships.”
Hurt feelings in couple relationships: Exploring the role of attachment and perceptions of personal injury (2005, unknown): “Together, these findings suggest that hurtful acts that elicit a sense of shame or inadequacy cut across the categories in existing typologies (Feeney, 2004; Leary et al., 1998).”
