Rejection sensitivity - the tendency to expect, perceive, and overreact to
rejection by others - is linked with individuals' expectations that their
romantic partners' behaviors have negative intent, even if, perhaps, such
behaviors could be considered neutral when observed by another. The aim of the
present study was to test this proposition, derived from rejection sensitivity
theory, using a Video-Recall Procedure with adolescent couples in the US (N = 386
adolescents, 50% girls). We examined whether adolescents who were more sensitive
to rejection perceived their romantic partners' behaviors as more conflictual
than when viewed by trained, third-party observers. Findings suggest that, at the
micro-analytic level, higher rejection sensitivity is associated with
adolescents' heightened perception of their romantic partners as conflictual when
compared to observers, who more often coded the same behaviors as neutral rather
than conflictual. Implications for adolescent mental health and well-being are
discussed.
