• Putting the “We” Into Well‐being: Using Collectivism‐Themed Measures of Well‐Being Attenuates Well‐being's Association With Individualism (2019, background): “Even for more interdependent aspects of well-being, approaching positive incentives in relationships may ultimately work better than efforts to avoid conflict (Gable & Impett, 2012), though this explanation still requires confirmation, particularly in the cross-cultural context.”
• Keeping the Spark Alive (2013, methodology): “We draw upon approach-avoidance theories of social motivation (Elliot, Gable, & Mapes, 2006; see review by Gable & Impett, 2012) to further suggest that a critical reason why sexual communal strength fuels sexual desire concerns people’s reasons or goals for engaging in sex with an intimate partner.”
