| Abstract | In this article I explore the motivated construalprocesses that allow individuals to dispel doubt and sustain conviction in the face of less-than-pegectpartners and relationships. The surface features of conviction are discussedfirst with a focus on the positive illusions that predict relationship well-being and stability. The structural underpinnings of conviction are then discussed with a focus on the cognitive mechanisms that contain the implications of negativity within positive relationship representations. I conclude by discussing possible self-evaluation motives that may interfere with intimates dispelling doubt andfinding the sense of conviction needed to sustain satisfying, stable romantic relationships. |
