| Annotation | This study of 59 American married couples investigated the association between self processes and partners' perspectives of their health-related social interactions. Findings revealed that wives' self processes were associated with their social behaviour from the perspective of each partner. However, the wives' self processes differentially predicted wives' and husbands' perspectives of their interactions. These findings demonstrate that wives' future expectations for the health of husbands, as well as for their role in maintaining a husband's future health, motivate their current social behaviour to promote the positive health lifestyle behaviours of husbands.
