The present study examined exclusivity in heterosexual romantic relationships and its effects on the possibility of the maintenance of these relationships. More than others, romantic relationships are characterized by exclusivity, which establishes the boundary of a romantic group. This aspect of romantic relationships can be inferred from the manner in which people act toward the other, namely, the ritual acts which define the relationship as exclusive and proscribe extradyadic ties of the same kind. The nature of these rituals depends on the larger and the mini-culture peculiar to the dyad. From this perspective, exclusivity is reflected in the extent which individuals would accept their partner or themselves participating in extradyadic heterosexual relations. Hence, dyadic exclusivity can take one of four values: high-high, high-low, low-high, and low-low. A questionnaire was administered to one-hundred-thirty-six couples which allowed us to classify them into the above four types and to assess perceived dyadic stability. Exclusivity was found to have considerably less impact on stability for the male partner than for the female partner. Females regarded high exclusivity as indispensable, whereas males gave most weight to both partners agreeing about the proper degree of exclusivity. Agreement between partners about exclusivity, however, is relatively hard to occur after short acquaintance. These and other findings suggest that exclusivity is an important factor not only for explaining the cohesiveness of romantic dyads but also for understanding their development.

本研究は不育症の体験が夫(胎児の父親)の対人関係に与える影響を分析し,夫に対するソーシャル・サポートの必要性を探ることを目的とした探索的研究である。当事者グループ会員の40組の夫婦が個別自記入・郵送回収式の質問票に回答した。流産体験が夫の対人関係に及ぼす影響を説明する自由記述回答(アカウント)は帰納的分析法でコード化された。夫へのサポートに対する夫婦の態度を組み合わせ,40組の夫婦は「妻もしくは両方が否定的」「夫婦共に肯定的」および「妻のみ肯定的」の3群に分類された。クロス表分析の結果,「妻もしくは両方が否定的」である夫婦の多くが夫の対人関係に流産の影響はないと記述しているのに対し,「夫婦共に肯定的」な夫婦はなんらかのよいまたは悪い影響について述べているケースが多かった。さらにサポート源に関する変数とのクロス表分析からは,「夫婦共に肯定的」群と「妻のみ肯定的」群の違いが示唆される結果が得られた。
