The Effects of Unmitigated Communion and Life Events among Women with Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Alexander J. Nagurney

Texas State University-San Marcos, USA, an18{at}txstate.edu

This study examined the effects of the personality trait of unmitigated communion (UC) within the context of positive and negative relationship events. Ninety-one women diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome completed initial measures of UC as well as weekly measures of positive and negative relationship events and positive and negative affect. Positive events were related to positive affect while negative events were related to negative affect. Negative and positive affect were also predicted from the interaction of UC and negative events. These results suggest the interrelationships among UC and relationship events can combine in meaningful ways to predict psychological well-being.

Key Words: affect • fibromyalgia • relationship events • unmitigated communion
