The Research on Relationship Goals

What the research shows about the goals people bring to relationships and what they predict

The Goals

The research on relationship goals -- the specific approach and avoidance motivations that individuals bring to their romantic relationships, ranging from the growth-oriented goals of the secure individual to the validation-seeking and rejection-avoidance goals that insecure attachment produces -- is one of the more practically significant bodies of relationship research because the goals predict the specific behaviours and the specific relationship patterns that the goals motivate.

The Prediction

The specific predictions that the relationship goal research makes: the individuals whose primary relationship goal is the experience of closeness and growth show higher relationship satisfaction and more constructive conflict behaviour than the individuals whose primary relationship goal is the avoidance of rejection or the validation of their self-worth through partner approval. The goal orientation is changeable through the specific therapeutic and reflective interventions that the research identifies.
