Coping with stress in close
relationships profoundly affects relationship functioning. A key framework for
comprehending how couples navigate stress is dyadic coping. Research depicts
that common dyadic coping plays a crucial role in fostering relationship
satisfaction. Additionally, gratitude enhances relationship satisfaction, as
well. Feeling and expressing gratitude toward a partner in dyadic coping
situations is known as dyadic coping-related gratitude. Despite
well-established associations of dyadic coping, and dyadic coping-related
gratitude to relationship satisfaction, no studies have examined their
associations with relationship flourishing-which extends beyond satisfaction
fostering mutual well-being, deeper connection, personal growth, shared
purpose, and support- to the knowledge of the researchers. This study aimed to
examine the mediating role of expressed dyadic coping-related gratitude in the
association between common dyadic coping and relationship flourishing. The
sample included 184 Turkish married individuals (108 women, 74 men) aged 21 to
78 (M = 40.61, SD = 11.56), recruited via convenience sampling. Participants
completed the Relationship Flourishing Scale, Common Dyadic Coping Scale from
DCI, Expressed Gratitude Subscale of the Dyadic Coping-related Gratitude
Questionnaire, and a demographic form. Path analyses revealed significant
direct effects of dyadic coping and dyadic coping-related gratitude on
relationship flourishing. Additionally, expressed dyadic coping-related
gratitude mediated the association between common dyadic coping and relationship
flourishing partially. Findings will be discussed alongside relevant
literature, with practical implications and future research directions
provided.
