Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This investigation used self-determination theory (SDT) to study goal striving in the context of romantic relationships. The study explored how dyadic partners' relationship motivation impacted goal progress, personal well-being, and relationship satisfaction. In addition, the mediating role of relationship goal progress was explored.

METHOD: In a prospective longitudinal study, 153 heterosexual couples rated their own relationship motivation and each reported a relationship goal and a self-oriented goal. Goal progress was assessed approximately one year later. In addition, well-being and relationship satisfaction were assessed at baseline and follow-up.

RESULTS: Actor-partner interdependence models (APIMs) revealed that actor's autonomous relationship motivation was positively associated with relationship and self-oriented goal progress. Actor's autonomous relationship motivation, as well as both actor and partner relationship goal progress, were associated with increases in subjective well-being and relationship satisfaction. Relationship goal progress mediated the association between actor's autonomous relationship motivation and subjective well-being, as well as relationship satisfaction.

CONCLUSIONS: Together, these findings contribute to research on relationship motivation and goal striving in dyadic partners, by suggesting that motivational regulations impact goal regulation in romantic relationships and associated well-being outcomes.
