Are you and your partner competitive about everything? Here's how it could help—or harm—your relationship, writes swhitbo
New research on workplace rivalries emphasizes what differentiates a good from a bad rival.
Extrapolating to the rivalry that can exist with your partner, the USF study could help explain what can go wrong when this form of interpersonal strife gets out of hand. With a basis in what’s called “resource theory,” Regina and Allen propose that any stress in one domain, whether work or family, drains your emotional capacity to fulfill the needs of both sets of roles.
As you might imagine, in this study, it was also important to control for participants' general level of competitiveness as atrait. You or your partner may just be competitive people, no matter who you’re up against, and you therefore naturally carry this over into your relationship.
