Romantic relationships in China and the United States were examined in two separate but related studies using the dyad as the unit of analysis. Specifically, the first study examined the influence of stage of romantic relationship (i.e., "casual", "serious", and "plan to get married" romantic relationships) and culture on love, intimacy, and communication. Data were collected from 90 romantic couples in China and 77 romantic couples in the United States. Multivariate analysis of variance using both summation (i.e., average of partners' scores) and dispersion (i.e., differences between partners' scores) scores revealed that relationship type influenced love and communication. Two univariate effects for love were significant (passion and commitment), and two communication variables (social networks and satisfaction) were significant. Mean scores for the couples that planned to get married were higher than those for the casual and serious romantic relationships. Intimacy was not affected by stage of romantic relationship. Culture had a multivariate effect on love, intimacy, and communication. Significant univariate effects included passion (one component of love), intellectual intimacy (one component of intimacy), high-context attributional confidence, social reaction, and perceived similarity (three of the six communication variables). Couples in the United States sample reported a greater degree of passion, social reaction, and perceived similarity and couples in the Chinese sample reported a greater degree of intellectual intimacy and high-context attributional confidence. The purpose of the second study was to explore the interactive mechanisms that contributed to "stability" in romantic relationships in China and the United States. An interpretative analysis of the accounts of both partners from nine romantic relationships in China and eight romantic relationships in the United States was conducted. The analysis indicated that mutuality of openness, involvement, shared nonverbal meanings, and relationship assessment contributed to relationship stability in both cultures. Results from both studies suggest the importance of love and communication in understanding and explaining romantic relationships across cultures.Subjects--Topical Terms:
