Title: | Influence of Self-Perception of Alcohol Use on Differential Relationship Maintenance Among Married Persons | Contributor(s): | Ottu, Iboro F A (author); Osinowo, Helen O (author); Aguiyi, Annasthesia O (author); Taiwo, Kayode O (author); Akinlabi, Michael O (author) ; Ineme, Mfon E (author) | Publication Date: | 2012 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/27100 | Abstract: | Throughout evolutionary history, the maintenance of long-term mating relationships has played an important role in human reproductive processes (Maner, Rouby & Gonzaga, 2008). Maintaining commitment to a current long-term partner has a lot of benefits (Gonzaga, Keltner, Londabl & Smith, 2001). For example, compared to the offspring of many other mammals, human offspring have benefited from high levels of investment from both parents (Daly & Wilson, 1983) which usually requires some degree of long-term relationship investment and commitment. Also, children living with two biological parents continue to be healthier compared to children growing up in other family arrangements and when they reach adulthood, surveys show that they will have better physical health and a longer lifespan (Wood, Goesling & Avellar, 2007). Successfully maintaining relationships has also been linked to several positive outcomes including relational satisfaction and longevity (Guerrero, Eloy, and Wabnik, 1993). Moreover, staying committed to a long-term mating relationship can provide benefits through engagement in continued social alliances associated with the relationship (e.g. the presence of extended family and automatic interaction with social groups of one’s spouse) (Maner, et. al., 2008). | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | CRISA Conference 2010: Centre for Research and Information on Substance Abuse 9th Biennial International Conference on Alcohol, Drugs and Society in Africa, Abuja, Nigeria, 11th - 12th August, 2010 | Source of Publication: | Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDs in Africa: Proceedings of the Ninth Biennial International Conference on Alcohol, Drugs and Society in Africa, p. 117-132 | Publisher: | Centre for Research and Information on Substance Abuse | Place of Publication: | Uyo, Nigeria | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 170106 Health, Clinical and Counselling Psychology 160201 Causes and Prevention of Crime 170113 Social and Community Psychology |
