Relationship-Related Beliefs
Researchers focused on beliefs about relationships mostly examine dysfunctional beliefs. Researchers have extended this research by examining the relationship between dysfunctional beliefs and conflict in non-Western samples.
Hamamci (2005a) studied the association between dysfunctional relational beliefs and marital conflict in a Turkish sample. Holding dysfunctional beliefs was positively related to self-reports of the number and frequency of conflicts and the level of tension in the relationship, although interpersonal rejection beliefs showed stronger relationships than did unrealistic expectations and interpersonal misperception. In a subsequent study, Hamamci (2005b) examined whether dysfunctional relational beliefs were related to conflict resolution between Turkish adolescents and their parents. Holding dysfunctional beliefs was negatively related to engaging in actions that lead to conflict resolution (i.e., focusing on the other’s needs).
