Planning promotes progress toward goal achievement in a wide range of domains. To date, planning has mostly been studied as an individual process. In couples, however, the partner is likely to play an important role in planning. This study tested the effects of individual and dyadic planning on goal progress and goal-related actions. Two samples of couples ( = 76 and = 87) completed daily diaries over a period of 28 and 21 days. The results indicate that individual and dyadic planning fluctuate on a daily basis and support the idea that dyadic planning is predominantly used as a complementary strategy to individual planning. As expected, individual and dyadic planning were positively associated with higher levels of action control and goal progress. In Sample 2, dyadic planning was only associated with goal progress on days in which individuals felt that they were dependent upon their partners' behaviors to achieve their goals.

Experimental paradigm to test the effects of providing social support: study protocol of the PROSPECT trial (Study 2).

Background: A growing body of research suggests that the provision of social support can have benefits not only for the recipients but also for the provider. Although initial evidence for affective, self-evaluative and physiological outcomes has been established, the beneficial effects of support provision do not occur consistently across all support interactions, and some interactions may even have detrimental effects on providers. The aim of our experimental paradigm is to enable researchers to test the conditions under which the provision of social support to dyadic partners affects affective, self-evaluative, physiological, and relationship outcomes for the provider.

Autonomy support (AS) and psychological control (PC) are important parenting behaviors in adolescence, with low AS and high PC relating to adolescent depression. Studies on observed levels of AS and PC in a clinical sample are lacking. The current study aimed to (1) develop a reliable coding system for parental AS and PC in parent-adolescent interactions and gain insights into its ecological validity in a healthy control (HC) sample, and (2) disentangle observed and adolescent-perceived parenting behaviors in relation to adolescent depression.

Article Synopsis
- Ecological psychology examines how organisms interact with their environments, providing insights into children's behaviors and perceptions.
- This study focuses on two key concepts: affordance, which looks at how children perceive the usefulness of their surroundings, and behavior setting, which studies the relationship between children's behaviors and environmental features.
- Existing research often misses the importance of children's immediate actions and the dynamic nature of their environments, so this study suggests a new framework to better understand these interactions, especially in childcare settings.

This paper investigates unmet needs among dyads of people aged 50 and over in England. Understanding the extent and patterns of unmet needs for long-term care across different social groups is critical for understanding care-related experiences and inequalities and planning the long-term care system. Although spouses are a main source of care support, little is known about how spouses' characteristics relate to one's experience of unmet care needs.
