Interpersonal control strivings and vulnerability to negative social exchanges in later life
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate older adults' vulnerability to negative social exchanges by examining how they strive to accomplish the interrelated task of preventing negative exchanges or reducing the emotional distress aroused by negative social exchanges when they occur. The results reveal that interpersonal control strivings directed towards preserving emotional health when harmony is threatened were associated with less reactivity.
